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 […]

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

Still feeling tired especially after the last 2 days. Friday & Saturday I spent the time driving between Noda, Kashiwa, Ashikaga (twice), Tokyo, Narita […]
