Summary:
Hino is a great ride, and each time you do it, it gets better. It does have some tough climbs and some wicked tree infested downhills. But it is one of the best rides near Yokota. Most groups drive 2 cars, one to take the bikes up to the trail head and the other is parked down near the bus station, where the ride ends. I like to ride from the bottom up and do the entire ride...but it is tough to talk people into it....as it is a tough road climb...only to start a tougher climb in the dirt.

Summary:
My old training grounds. Start at Yokota Air Base, up and down and back to Fussa in under two hours. Only broke two hours once, trained there for years. I'll be sad if I never ride it again.

Summary:
This is a very rigorous ride. The first hour is climbing the whole way with that last 20 minutes in the granny. Then for the next 1 1/2 hours it's up & down and down the rest of the way. Some parts are very technical with 1 to 3 foot drop-offs, lots of roots and big washouts. Since I don't like drop-offs, especially those preceeded by a big root, this trail can get too technical for me at times. But overall it's a great ride. total round trip if you bike it the whole way is about 2 1/2 hours.

Recommended Route:
Start at Itsukaichi Train station, climb and pass the onsen then loop back around to the station.
