The Nobeyama Farmyard Tourist Ranch, at the base of Yatsugatake mountain range, hosted the second Nobeyama Cyclocross Race. Rapha Japan’s Daisuke Yano and local resident of Nobeyama (where he has a Rapha showroom and workshop) created a course that involved a stretch through a cabbage field as well as Japan's first ever flyover. There was also a detour through the food gallery, serving local produce from this picturesque region, as well as Rapha coffee.

How do the Japanese always manage to look so damn effortlessly cool!
Makes the Notts/Derby CX league seem positivley dull in comparison.
