August 27 (Sun.) 8th "Mountain motorcycle Yamagata meeting in Tendo" (  the highest 34.6C / the lowest 22.8C / weather - cloudy) [Index and Temp.] |
|
At the Tendo plateau which it takes 30 minutes from the central Tendo by car, they held the event "8th Mountain motorcycle Yamagata competition in Tendo". A mountain motorcycle association of Higashine holds this event every year. Originally they held in Higashine city, but by circumstances of a meeting place, they moved the place to Tendo in 1997. This year totally 340 athletes take part in this event, people not only in Yamagata but also Tohoku district and Hokkaido district. Because there was a campground on Tendo plateau, a lot of participants seemed to camp there from the day before. A lot of family visit the Tendo plateau in summertime for a spacious open field and the cow which were put out to pasture. However, we have never been a REAL event till now. I think that that they turn this event into a larger-scale thing in future and lead to PR of Tendo plateau and attracting tourist. |
