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 […]

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 […]

Edogawa–Roubaix

Had my winter jersey on and shoe covers but was too hot for that. Typical Sunday morning training. Nothing special to report. Got dropped in the last 500m but was happy to have held on that long. The new bike is a dream to ride. Fits like a glove and wants to go fast with […]

Hanami Training

Tonight the cherry blossoms were in full bloom and Shimizukouen was busy with late night blossom viewers walking or driving on our course. They didn’t get in our way and we probably added a bit of excitement to their night as well. Two new ‘fast’ guys there who put the pace on early and I […]

Sunday Spring Semas Sycling

Got up early enough to go to Sunday training. Can’t remember the last time I went. The sun was up nice and early and tricked me into getting out of bed. Still feeling tired especially after the last 2 days. Friday & Saturday I spent the time driving between Noda, Kashiwa, Ashikaga (twice), Tokyo, Narita […]
