Tomorrow We Ride!
It’s a chilly but not uncomfortable 10°C here in Tateshina, not far from Japan’s second highest road which is in some of the routes for tomorrow’s Coast to Coast Twistybutt.

The fog was soupish at altitude today. Not much rubber was rounded but much adventure was had.
(more…)Scouting #1
Warmest start to pre-ride scouting ever! Left home at 5:30am wearing summer gloves and vents open as it was a sultry 18°c already. It was so comfortable.

Coast to Coast 14 – Spring 2026
Volcano affected Routes Sent
Firstly, this only affects the OB Twistymaster routes. The core 500 and 650 routes distributed to all 90 entrants already bypassed the closed section of road. This was included from the start as that bit of road has been closed sporadically for many years now and the risk wasn’t worth it.
(more…)292 News
It seems the Shiga-Kusatsu Doro, aka route 292, is being thwarted by level 2 volcanic activity between Kusatsu and Manza Onsen, again. This means the iconic 8.5km hillclimb through the volcanic wastelands is very unlikely to open by May 2nd. 🤔
