Starbucks Sunday
Was cold and overcast with rain threatening. Sunday training had been prematurely cancelled…but Dave came to the rescue and got me out of the house. We met close to half way at the Tega Numa parking area and then made our way over the bridge, up the hill and into Espa for a chat over [...]
Tuesday Night 13
13 riders made it to the start and NO RAIN!!! I said to myself at the 10km mark… ‘it gets tough between the 15km to 20km mark and then it gets easy till the last lap…so just hold on till the 20km mark…’ This kind of mental image training is sometimes programming yourself to fail… [...]

Yukiya Arashiro Giro Hero Stage 5 2010
Had some good Youtube clips of this stage but they keep being removed by Youtube for Copyright violations… What a great ride by Yukiya. If he didn’t take the initiative in the last 1.5km the trio were doomed. Usually in these situations one will break away and win or lose or all three will wait [...]

HERE….an international group of cyclists, riding mostly in and around Tokyo, linking rivers, parks and bike paths to maximize greenery and minimize contact [...]

Saturday: Was a strong wind and I had planned to visit the new cycling cafe in Ichinoe near Disneyland but turned around at Matsudo and came home. Sunday: Had a team meeting to discuss the ever increasing traffic on the Edo river cycling course, our clubs reputation in public and safety issues. The result being [...]
Hakuba Hot & Cold
Skiing to the left of me riding to the right. Was so hot it made me feel a bit sick so I turned around at the halfway mark and went home. Should have worn my summer clothes. The snowboarding at 47 put me off in the ‘what clothes to wear’ department. Still feeling a bit [...]
