| Daigo-ji Temple to Uji. | The Outdoorholic | Sep 2nd 2010, 07:02 | 28.4km |
|
|
| This trail has five ascents and five descents, so you are sure to get some exercise and lose a lot of sweat. Commencing at Daigo-ji Temple (Kyoto Prefecture) your first ascent, after a nice 1km ride, will require you to walk as the trail is very steep and rugged. Once at the top you begin your first descent. Don't get too carried-away as your turn-off is easily missed. After your next ascent, you will be greeted by a quaint wee shrine (an ideal place to take a break). About 500-meters further on, you will exit the road and descent through a wee village and, if it's the right time of year, rice fields. Your next ascent will require you to walk as it is also a bit steep and rugged. Once at the top, you arrive at another shrine. Take some time here to admire the scenery before moving-onto Iwamasan Shouhou-ji Temple. Leave your bike and take a stroll through the complex. Your next descent may be easily missed, it is on your left and, again, I recommend you walk the next section. Once back on the road you back-track to the quaint shrine, mentioned earlier, with a slight detour. At the shrine you turn left before your next descent. Check you speed here as it is very-windy and the next turn-off comes suddenly. Back on the road again, your next turn-off is about 500m then your next ascent. This is a long climb so don't push yourself. The descent, like the previous one, is also windy and, if you are going too fast, you may miss your turn-off, which is on the left. From this point you have finished with the ascents/descents and the trail takes you through some picturesque villages. The suddenly you arrive at the Uji-gawa (Uji River). Before turning to bike down river into Uji, turn left and take-in the Amagase Dam.From here it's a nice cruise into Uji and the end of the trail at the "Tale-of-Genji Bridge". | |||||

|
| This is one of my "Getting-Lost" rides,where I don't have a plan.I just go to an area and bike wherever the want takes me. Beginning at my base - the main gate to Yamadaike Park - this journey will take you through the outskirts of Hirakata City. Then,once you leave the main road,you enter the very-beautiful countryside of the area that borders Hirakata,Kyotanabe and Ikoma Cities.In between you will travel through some small communities and villages that will surprise you with the beauty of the area. | |||||
