Good day in the saddle, and first ride with Chirag. Sunny and very hot. Lots of shade hopping on the climbs. Only my second time riding in Chichibu: not many cars, (mostly) good roads, and outstanding views.

Shigasaka was as great as I remembered. Only 8% faster than 2013 (not sure what this means). Good pace, but little too hard too early.
Good roads on Tsuchisaka, but brutally hot. Crap roads up to Tenku (do not descend that way), excellent descent down the other side. Then one final slog up to Ju-ushi.

All climbs seated, in 34-25 or higher. All target times hit. Little knee twinge in right knee, so time for a few days off, then a week or so of spinning up the climbs.

Notes:
140号 back to Chichibu was full of trucks.
Bike bag was excellent.
Time to stick on the climbing wheels..?
