Mountain Biking in Japan 2008/9/14 16:06
Hi,

Just wondering if mountain-biking (XC) is feasible at the end of the year (around Dec-Jan) and where are the popular places for MTB-ing?

Are there any forums or websites that organize rides or have maps/directions to specific trails?

Is it possible to walk in to a bike shop to ask for informal rides or do I have to book guided rides online in advance?

I can bring my own bike and gear, so rental is not an issue.

Thanks!

In winter, you'll have to watch out for snowy and icy conditions but maybe the hills around Chiba might be a good place to so cycling.

FYI, shops don't have guides but they sell route maps (in Japanese of course).

For help in English, you should try this site
