This is a guide to a circular gravel ride route around the forest roads in the city of Fuji-Yoshida (north foot of Mt. Fuji), starting from the Kita-Fuji Training Area. The only gravel forest road with a name is the forest road Mamashita Line, so it is hard to find it if you don't know it, but there are many good roads that are really worth riding.
On this day (August 4, 2024), the distance traveled was 57 km and the elevation gained was about 1250 m. The highest elevation was over 1400 m on the Mamashita Line. It is quite a hard route, but it is comfortable and cool even in mid-summer!
