The hidden Rindō
The fourth Japanese Odyssey marked a turn in the history of the event. We took the best elements of previous editions, and packaged it in a more refined version.
For the first time, the Odyssey would be a loop, starting and ending in Tokyo, under the Nihonbashi, kilometer zero of Japanese maps.
Twelve checkpoints, all in small, forest roads (Japanese call them rindō), located in beautiful areas, where the riders could enjoy the stupendous autumnal colours only Japan can offer, while still enduring some seriously challenging climbs.
All in a shorter period of time, upping the challenge a notch.
