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 Soya to Cape Sata) over about 8 weeks. The dates below are not set in stone, but around these dates, since 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):
26 Aug - 22 Oct 17
27 May - 23 July 17
About me:
I'm 25, Australian (don't hold that against me). My Japanese ability is at an Intermediate level. I am pretty easy going, fun and a bit of a larrikin, but not too crazy.
I have been to Japan a number of times, and I have 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 20km/h. I can also fix just about any problem with bicycles on the road side.
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.
I haven't decided on which bike I will be taking Yet, I have built up a custom full carbon fibre, Ultegra Di2, hydraulic disc braked, touring bike, with bikepacking bags.
But more likely I will buy myself a new 2017 Kona Sutra when they come on sale, and ride that in a bike packing setup.
If you’re interested let me know and we can chat a bit more.
