Fuji Loop Via Hakone and Fuji Skyline

Having DNF the 400km brevet ride last weekend due to bad weather, I needed a bit of long serious ride as training ride before next month 600km brevet. I decided to do Mt Fuji loop and using first portion of last week 400km brevet course to give my legs that big mountain muscular endurance. 

Left very early around 3:30AM and this should provide the dark/sleepy riding acclimation needed for my next brevet. The weather was forecasted to be sunny, but I didn't get the sun until afternoon. The south side of Mt. Fuji was mostly foggy and cloudy.

The ride was tough but was able to ride almost continously expect for a few hunger pang stops and nature breaks. 

Hope the weather will cooperate on the next big one.
