Just a reminder for new comers that we meet at around 4:40am – about 15 minutes before Sunrise! There’s a convenience store near the start, so arrive when you like and stock up as you please. Whether that’s a coffee to chat over and peruse the steeds in the waiting area.
Traditionally we do a quick gather and kick off talk at sunrise with and then everyone filters out when they are ready.
Please don’t expect people with sticks guiding you to your parking or race queens strutting around for photos. Do expect Twistybutts catching up with each other and plenty of pre-ride excitement.

The ‘Google Routing’ nine points route has been updated.

The reopening of one of the highlights on the C2C, the run through the snow walls on the climb up the 292 to the highest point on a national road in Japan, is on schedule and only a few days before we are set to roll through there.

Here you are Twistybutts, this is the sticker for this year’s Coast to Coast. Hope you like it.

Thanks to all those who’ve requested extra stickers.

Due to popular demand, this year’s C2C, being the 12th running, will be a no holds barred Dirty Dozen Anniversay Race to the Sea of Japan! The winner will be bathed in victory’s glory and the wounds and tears of their adversaries.
