The last year or two there have been at least three very detailed Japan tour journeys posted at crazyguyonabike.com . Definitely have a look if you have not already checked them out.
Not sure if it is rider preference or indicative of Japan as whole, but frankly I was somewhat surprised that even in the more rural areas of Japan the journals all reported well paved, well maintained roads. Not sure you will find much gravel. Actually, not all that surprising. Japan is a densely populated, advanced and prosperous nation that appears to put a lot of emphasis on infrastructure. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
