I know its planning a bit far ahead, but I have to plan far ahead because of my work. I am planning an end to end tour of Japan (Cape Sata to Cape Soya) over 7-8 weeks. The dates below are not set in stone, but around these dates, since it the weather won’t be too hot in the south or too cold in the north and it won’t in the high rain fall months.
-Possible dates(give or take a week):
2016
28 May - 17 July (7 Weeks), 28 May - 24 July (8 Weeks)
2017
26 Aug - 15 Oct (7 Weeks), 26 Aug - 22 Oct (8 Weeks)
27 May - 16 July (7 Weeks), 27 May - 23 July (8 Weeks)
About me:
I'm 25, Australian (don't hold that against me). My Japanese ability is at an Intermediate level.
I have been to Japan a number of times, and ridden in Japan before from Cape Soya in Hokkaido to Nagano just NW of Tokyo. I'm very fit & pack pretty lightly, so I would like to maintain a comfortable 25km/h, or if you rather tour a bit faster or slower I'm ok with that to. I’m also pretty good amateur bicycle mechanic, I an fix just about any problem.
I should also say, that during the tour I plan to utilise a couple of relatives places, stealth camping, and maybe every 3-5 days some cheap accommodation. Since food is so cheap in Japan, I don’t plan on cooking any meals.
My ride will be my new custom made full carbon fibre, Ultegra Di2, hydraulic disc braked, touring bike, with 3/4 frame bag, seat bag, and a toptube bag.
If you’re interested let me know and we can chat a bit more.
