香恋の里～つくで手作り村～三河湖

Approximately a 38km loop course.

【Counterclockwise】The initial section is uphill. There are gentle undulations, but no particularly tough climbs. The stretch along Mikawa Lake is very pleasant. Just before the finish, there is a steep downhill. I find myself drifting unintentionally.

【Clockwise】A tough climb right from the start. A favorite for hill climbers. From the middle onwards, when heading west on Route 301, you often face headwinds.

【Others】You can take a leisurely break at Kaoren no Sato. If the timing is right, you can also see the dam's water release. A real treat for cycling enthusiasts and dam fans.

【Summary】The route through the mountains has low traffic and gives a refreshing feeling after the ride. The drive to the start point is somewhat long, though.
