Riders, just a few days to go and the excitement is building. How’s your bike and rider prep going?

We have just over 30 registered to join, all route prep and distribution has been done and the Weather Gods are with us. 🤞

The Start: A ride briefing will begin at at 5:50am at the start. Kick stands up by 6am and no delays as we don’t want to miss sunrise atop Taikanyama at 6:17am. Let’s pitstop at the top and admire the sunrise, have a hot drink and chat before setting off into the full day of twisties. *If you’re running late, try to catch up at the Taikanyama pitstop.

Weather: Temps are looking chilly in the morning. At our meet point at 6am, it’s expected to be 7°C and up at the top of the Turnpike at Taikanyama for sunrise, it’s expected to be 6°C. So, dress warm or have plenty of hot packs.

Pitstops: The recommended lunch break near Shimoda and fuel/gas stops are in the route information emails sent to your registered emails. Hope you’ve done your research and are ready there.

Best fill your tank at this 24hr Idemitsu near the start as gas stands on the route on a Sunday are few and far between and not open early. Be at the Idemitsu by 5:20-5:30am and you ought to arrive at the start on time.

Registration will close at midnight tonight. If you have any friends who’ve not signed up yet, best let them know.

See you on Sunday Twistybutts!
