## Resource

In Ep.133 I talked about the top 5 rides in Hokkaido, but not everyone has the time or ability to travel across the island to ride them. So this week I'm bringing it closer to home with the Top 5 rides you can do starting right from Sapporo. From classic local climbs to scenic countryside roads and epic coastal adventures, these are rides every cyclist living in or visiting Sapporo should experience. In this episode I count down: #5 Mt.Teine #4 Tobetsu Farmland & Kobayashi Sake Brewery #3 Jozankei with Nakayama Pass or Asari Pass #2 Lake Shikotsu #1 Shakotan I also reference several previous Cycling Hokkaido podcast episodes that cover many of those routes in more detail and here are those links below.
