The Narrow Road to the Deep North
« Every day is a journey, and the journey itself home ».
The sixth edition of the Japanese Odyssey took inspiration in the words of famous poet Matsuo Basho.
From the steep climbs of central Kyushu to the coastal city of Hachinohe, riders made their way through mountainous and secluded roads, spiced up with mandatory, punishing climbs and the odd gravel mandatory segments.
