Norikura Skyline Hill Climb on Sunday. 18.4 km at 7.2%. Weather looks a little uncertain There's always the risk of this one being cancelled.

Not much training this week. Lots of resting. Early nights.

A rest day on Wednesday.

Asaren on Thursday. Feel strong on the flats. Comfortable on the climb.

Later tempo climbing, in the rain, on Ishikawa Pass.
