This morning the snow continues to fall heavily and i waited until 11 am before i could start my first pedal when it thin down a little. The feeling of riding in the snow is not my first time,so i know what to expect and take extra precaution not to roll over the snow surface,and control the speed when downhill. After reaching the peak of Myokokogen, the descent was great but feeling very cold especially both my hands,i had to constantly exercise my fingers to increase blood circulation. I could see the snow is getting less and less as i descent further and arriving in Nagano city is so sunny,so i decided to make the final dash to Ueda to meet up with Chan Chin Fei. But the calls made either to his hand phone or home no answer. Finally with the help of the Police station nearby, the staffs manage to connect with him, then i realized that 2 of the numbers were mixed up. So the plan is to meet up in the morning as it was almost dark at 5 pm. With the help of the Police again,they recommended where i should camp,that is the car park about 500 meters away.
The morning after at the Myokokogen Car Park Camp

Manage to wheel out from the thick snow

Everything is white


On the way to Nagano


The snow deposit seems much less at the low land than up on the mountain

And its dry here and the sun started shinning
