It is getting warm in Tokyo!!
But Mountain area is still covered with snow!!
So, We went to Izu area for pure single track and delicious fish Dutch Oven Cooking!!
We tried Amagi-Pass trail for the first day!!
It is only 15km loop trail and It shouldn't be vary hard!!
BUT we started a little late and climb was more than we expected!!
We climbed nearly two hours on paved road and single track on return!!
This trail requires little bit of riding technology, but it was FUN!!
After the ride, We camped in "Indian Tepee" Tent and did DUTCH OVEN!!
Riding starts from New Amagi Pass Parking Lot!!
We just couldn't wait!!
In front of Old Amagi Tunnel!!
