Decided to set out this morning and basically climb every climb in northern Kyoto (bar one exception, because it is brutal and I'm not stupid), in order, from east to west. No idea why, really, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Started raining on and off at around the 1/3 mark. Got caught in a good shower on the steepest climb. At the top of the second to last climb it started raining torrentially and when I couldn't feel my extremities on the descent, I figured it was time to pack it in. Only one on my list left to go - such a shame.
Still, apparently managed 3155m in 95km, and I set PRs on the two hardest ones (somehow!). Happy with that. And quite tired.
