First route to test the waters for general cycling and climbing (repeat attempt, going for a better time).
Good for all abilities, although the second climb from Tenguno106 (てんぐこ106) is tough for beginners. Turn right before the racecourse and reroute to Iwayama Observatory (岩山展望台) if you're unsure.

2nd ride. I opted to go through a couple of residential areas rather than stick to the main roads. Speed was compromised by wrong turns and gravel roads, but a fun 50k-er nonetheless.
