Airedaling

Over the last 3 weeks I haven’t ridden much and spent a bit more time with the dogs. Here Sora and Sky had a father and son’s day at a grooming get together on October 4th and then a dog show and sport’s day last Sunday the 25th. Sky’s sister Momo came to both events […]

Watarase

With the annual Tour De Chiba on this weekend training was cancelled. A lot of them went on the night bus to ride today’s stage. As I bought my bike to save money I don’t actually like paying to ride unless it’s a race fee. Instead I did my own tour of Chiba today. I […]

Back to work tomorrow!

After 6 weeks off for Summer and 3 weeks off for Autumn I’ve forgotten what work is. While I was up in Hakuba I didn’t have my nifty scales either so haven’t been recording my data. Tomorrow it’s back on the program. I expect my weigh to have gone up with all the rain and […]

Ogawagawa ride in reverse

Garmin Player Always wanted to do this in reverse thinking it would be harder. The first 18km are mostly downhill which is a contrast to doing it the usual way. The climb after though was pretty hard. Made it to the top and the only time I stopped was for photo opportunities. By about the […]

Electric Power

For the last 3 years my 14 year old son and his grandfather team up for the summer vacation and work on a special project. The projects are submitted to school after summer and the good ones go in some kind of championship. Last year they made a water powered electric generator which won the […]

Creek House to Mt. Hakuba

As far as the road will take you to Mt. Hakuba that is. Followed the Olympic road to it’s highest point. 1250m. From the restaurant and parking area there, hikers make their way to the top of the mountain. I just had an ice cream and a cola and as it was cold up there […]

Creek House to Sierra Resort Loop

The weather was great this morning and I wanted to ride South and up to the tops of the mountains overlooking Lake Aokiko. Had my usual breakfast at Gusto and whilst driving home I went to see if I could find the roads to the top of the mountains. I drove to Lake Aokiko and […]

Walkies

Been cool since Saturday and my arm is still too sore to ride with in long sleeves so it’s walkies time! Raining today. Time to clean the house and sleep some more. May even get the roller out and have a spin.

KevRock 2009 Hakuba Japan Hoodoo Gurus

Just having a break from the KevRock 2009 and emptying out my camera SD card so I can go back and see the Hoodoo Gurus perform later on tonight. Awesome so far. Japanese band the Pinky Piglets brought the house down. Just 5 minutes walk from the Hakuba Creek House hotel! Editing in Part 2: […]

Hakuba Foot Spa Back On The Saddle Ride

First ride since Wednesday’s crash training. Still hurts to bend my arm where the long scab is forming on my elbow but most of the pain all over my body is down to a minor annoyance. This morning I went down to Gusto for their 523 yen breakfast special. 2 fried eggs, a sausage, a […]
