Starting from Goshogawara station, you pass the city area and enter a peaceful forest where sunlight6

filters through the trees. You will only hear the sound of leaves whispering and your own breath. This
course is commonly known as a training course for local cyclists because you make a round trip
through two mountains and repeat ups and downs. You will be able to focus on pedaling because there
is no traffic. Take a look at the marvelous view from the top of the mountains and recharge your energy.
Stop by Kanagi Town in Goshogawara after crossing the second mountain. Fill your stomach with theirlocal dishes and then pedal all the way to Goshogawara where the goal is located.

Mt. Manogami (549.2m), with a radio tower on the top of it, is one of the mountains on the east5

side of Goshogawara City. The mountain is commonly known as a training course for local cyclists.

One of the great characteristics of the hill climb is that you can enjoy the view from the top after
long pedaling and gain a sense of accomplishment. You can see not only Goshogawara City infront, but also Mt. Iwaki in the distance. At "Tsugaru Kanayamayaki" in the first half of the course,
you can have coffee with their acclaimed pottery and observe the firing oven. After hill climbing, it
is nice to have a rewarding lunch at a quiet, hidden cafe.

Station. Uphill continues for a while, but there are many rest spots to use for recovery. Then you
arrive at "Souvenir Shop Kyororo." Park your bike and walk for about 10 minutes, then you will finallysee Blue Pond. As its name suggests, its mysterious water looks like blue ink was poured into it. The
water is very clear, and the deep blue color is inspiring. You can even see the beech trees which sankto the bottom. Even though Blue Lake is at the farthest back among the Juni lakes, it is worth visiting
to take a look at the mysterious sight.

！ Do not bike side by side

！ Indication of intention to the driver！ Bike with enough precaution

It is prohibited to ride side by side with otherbicycles except when signs designate, “sideby side allowed”. It can get very dangerous
as you get close to vehicles on a road. So,
let’ s ride in single file.

During cycling, have good communication withdrivers of vehicles by using hand signs and/or
an eye contact. Always clearly indicate yourintention to drivers while cycling on the road.

In order to prevent accidents in various traffic
environments, make sure you always ride
while paying attention to your surroundings.

CASUAL TYPE

The cycle jersey has a quick drying function
to evaporate perspiration to prevent bodytemperature from rising, allowing
comfortable riding.

Short-sleeved shorts are the best. T-shirts
are also acceptable, but let’s choose the one
with breathable and fast-drying function.

As an anti-chill measures on the downhill,
wearing an arm warmer or carrying a
pocket-sized windbreaker is recommended.

It feels a bit chilly if you are just in a T-shirt,
so bring another thin jacket.

Windbreaker

Combine long pants or half pants + tights.
Plus when it covers the neck, you can hardly
feel the cold.

It is best to wear a wind breaker since thewind feels cold.
