Nota ~ Tanne snow shoe line

最近のトレーニングパターンは一日ローラー/一日スノーシューです。昨日たくさん雪が降ったから今朝ルークと一緒に野田へ。
R257は野田と谷根の間にある峠道です。海と山がコネクトするとてもキレイな道です。夏ならMTBの人にオススメです。今日はスノーシューで初めて走りました。

今は雪が1～1.5m位あります。今のところ柏崎でのべストスノーコンディションでした。登りはゆっくりですからとても良いトレーニングでした。

今日は野田から峠の一番上まで走りました。今度反対の谷根側から登ってみたいと思います。ルークくんよろしくじょんのび！

Recently my training has consisted of a day doing the rollers followed by a day snow shoeing. Last night there was a lot of fresh snow so this morning Luke and I headed out to Nota.

R257 is a small pass that links Nota to Tanne. It’s a beautiful narrow pass through the valley that connects the mountains to the sea. In the summer, if you have access to a mountain bike, I really recommend it. Today I tried it out for the first time on the snow shoes.

Right now there’s about a metre to metre and a half of snow. The snow itself was the best I’ve come across so far in Kashiwazaki. It’s a nice steady but gentle climb making for great training.

Today we climbed up to the top of the pass from the Nota side. Next time I’d like to try climbing up from the Tanne side. Luke, looking forward to it!
