Hill climb at Brompton (Ome-Kazehari Pass-Musashi Gokaichi)

Shooting and cycling、And to check the running performance of Brompton、Ome Station – Okutama Station – Okutama Shuyu Road – Kazehari Pass – I have been driving on a route of about 80km in Musashi Gokaichi。before、It's a route I've run several times on a road bike (Colnago C40), but it's my first attempt at Brompton。Compared to C40 (body weight 7.8 kg) + empty、The weight difference between Brompton M6R (body weight 12.3kg) + shooting equipment (about 2kg) is 6kg or more.。It's like running with four 1.5-liter PET bottle drinks (although I can't make a simple comparison ...)。Because the main purpose is shooting、If it was impossible, I started with a loose feeling that I would turn back on the way.、It rained when I tried to cross the Miyama Bridge and enter the Okutama Shuyu Road.。Also as a shelter from the rainFurusato Mountain Village"It is in"Rice Cafe YamasemiLunch break。Even after the restart, I ended up climbing the pass to chase after the rain clouds approaching from behind.。So it ’s easy to take out the camera.、It was a painful cycling that kept turning the pedal on a slope with a maximum gradient of 10%.。in conclusion、It's an honest impression that I don't want to do much hill climbing with this car body.。The above image was taken in commemoration because the view was good in the middle of the pass (at an altitude of about 950m).。
