Sunday Monday Tuesday?

Sunday I was still a bit tired from Saturday’s ride but managed to make it to the half way mark of our Semas Sunday training and have a go at the sprint to Misato. After Saturday’s warm weather where I was in winter uniform I decided to use my summer uniform. Problem was it was […]

100km LSD

An abnormally warm day today, and I couldn’t stay home and waste it. Woke up at 9, got the dogs out and about a bit and then decided where to go. A quick 40 to the castle and back? A slower 60 to the castle and back down the Tone river triangle course? The Kokaigawa […]

Swimming

About a year ago when I first joined the gym for the 5th time I got in the pool. My bad shoulder was grating like it had a handful of rocks in it and since then I hadn’t been back. After a year on the chest expansion machine the shoulder pain eventually disappeared and the […]

Mount Asama Japan Volcano Eruption
