Here Comes The Bride

Been lazy as well as overworking, if that is possible. Lazy in that I’ve not been able to ride. And I’ll throw in excuses like rain, work, rain & more work. My bronchial cold lingered with lots of coughing for about 3 weeks, with headaches every second day. A friend said I gave them the […]

Getting Cold

Been sick with a whooping like cough, slight fevers and little riding. May also be starting a new weekend job which will cut into all this free time I’ve had off for the last 5 years. Guess who’s going to be a Wedding Celebrant? Money’s good and it won’t be every weekend. (I hope). Since […]

Japan Cup 2010

Garmin controlled the race all day. Looks like they had a big enough team with specialist riders that suited the course. The smaller teams couldn’t break free. The other big name teams didn’t have enough depth. Was a nice 90 odd kilometer ride up in the morning. 6 a.m start and we went up the […]

New bar tape

Had my bar tape starting to come loose as it had stretched a lot. Being white and dirty plenty of excuses to take a ride down the river to Seo Shin Matsudo and get some old school black tape. Today 32.33 km Yearly total: 3967.89km Daily average:? Daily average goal: 33.71 km

Japan Cup Tomorrow

Been slack and have not updated my rides of late. Usually happens this time of year when the cold creeps in. Going to have a big ride tomorrow though and a short one today. 100km ride from home with a few guys from the Apex team. Train home with onsen and a few beers to […]

Shiitake Mushrooms & Yebisu Beer

Found this nice big Shiitake mushroom in the garden but had to wait a day to get the gas on to fry it up. But well worth the wait. Yum Yum!!! Washed down with a large can of YEBISU beer.

Slow Hakuba Day

After repairing my shorts this morning I decided to test them out. Took the Trek5.2 for a small spin up to 47 and then down and around Goryu then up the back of the hill to my favorite look-out. Up there I had a nice chat with an elderly couple from Aichi who woke up […]

Lycra Repairs

Twice or more now I’ve gotten little holes in my new lycra gear. Once in a very expensive pair of running tights (ran past a thorny bush and got bitten) and more often than not by one of the claws of my boisterous Airedale Terrier Lions. Thanks Sora.

The Chase

With the World Championships on TV to race home for today, I was revved up to do a bit of racing myself. Left as usual a little early and warmed up by myself. Just after a toilet stop I could sense the peleton homing in on me. Unfortunately, they found me with still a few […]
