Test Ride

3 in 1 test ride. My new Semas Jersey. New Semas shorts. (Yes, warm enough for shorts today. Spring is here.) New 5.2 Trek Madone. The bike felt very snappy, light and strong. Seeing as I haven’t been riding lately I just took it for a 25km spin here. The seat height seems to be […]

February = FAIL!

So far, so bad. The cold has kept me off the bike. The only ride I’ve done this month was one to the train station and back with a bit of a detour to the 7/11. Need to pull my finger out and hope for the cold and wind to go away. Latest mileage: 5km […]

Bicycles for Humanity – Tokyo (B4H-Tokyo) is a charitable organization founded by Andrew Eickhoff to further the mission of Bicycles For Humanity (B4H) to empower the people of Africa by helping them solve the basic problem of mobility. A bicycle allows a healthcare worker to visit […]

Goal! 1004.47km January

Over the last few days I didn’t think I was going to make it. Cold and wind and lack of motivation kept me off the bike more than was planned for and I stayed home yesterday psyching myself up for today. Even went to the extreme motivating tactic of shaving my legs last night to […]

Sekiyado

Yesterday afternoon, once it had warmed up a little I headed out to get some kind of ride in. A bit of a South Easterly blowing helped me up the river but left me with few options on the way home and was very hard to head back. The Bridgestone Anchor team coming the opposite […]

Guinness World Record Piranha & Egan Golf & Folds of Honor Foundation

For the Folds of Honor Foundation balls were sponsored….and… At 11:16, Nigel Mangan of Egan Golf (Ireland) hit ball 7,351 to break the world record for most balls hit in a 12 hour period. Piranha golf clubs of course!!! Big News!!! I’m sure a few Guinness’ have helped him celebrate this awesome achievement.

BG FIT (Body Geometry Fit Integration Technology)

A few guys I train with have had a BG Fit and I have noticed a great improvement in their riding abilities. Especially with extra speed with seemingly little effort. I know my positioning is not great and possibly my bike sizes are not exact. The price for this is probably not cheap and would […]

Day Off

Too lazy to make the most of the day off today and did practically nothing till night time sprint training. No long warm up like last week just a short one lapper then start. 3 starters and 3 late comers. After a bit of a nose bleed on the third lap I took it easy […]
