Last night was cold as usual and I took the Fondriest for a spin with the Garmin. On my warm up lap I tried to set a mark (in the Garmin) for the sprint (110m) inside the tunnel and then another mark on the finish line. The problem with this though is the GPS signal […]

I have a huge selection of summer wear but not much winter stuff.  Of my 2 pairs of winter gloves I can only find half a pair. The new gloves in the shops are almost twice the price of last year with good gloves running at over 8000 yen. The last couple of weeks I’ve […]

Had the day off today, (and tomorrow, and the next day, and most of the day after that too-) due to mid term tests. Before lunch I took Lunar and Sora for a walk and there were 3 crows in the park who wanted to play ‘chasings’ with us. That lasted more than 30 minutes. […]

Didn’t feel like riding tonight at all. 3 layers up top, a skull cap, neck warmer, shoe covers etc… very cold. Just had a hot shower and my feet still feel frozen solid. 7 riders tonight. The first sprint is always the easiest for me as I don’t think the others want to try and […]
