Took the Friday off work to go for a bike ride - so it's already a brilliant day before I even step out the door! Weekdays are also a great time to ride the Doshi Michi - none of the weekend motorcycles and holiday traffic, so a really pleasant, smooth, ride up to Lake Yamanakako. 
A little bit hazy today but great views of Fuji-san and still lots of Sakura around at that elevation. From Yamanakako I headed north to Rt35 and only then I remembered about my old favorite Suzugane Toge - and what a beauty. Quite warm by now so those shaded forest roads were very welcome, and the descent on the north side is absolutely lovely - a very Tottoro-esque feel to the place with old farmhouses lining the narrow road. After crossing over to Rt30 it was pretty much a long fast descent into Uenohara.
This is the absolute perfect loop for a weekday !! The only thing I would change is to avoid Rt139 and use the side roads instead on the stretch between Yamanakako and Rt35.  I'll definitely be doing this again.
