After 6 weeks off for Summer and 3 weeks off for Autumn I’ve forgotten what work is. While I was up in Hakuba I didn’t have my nifty scales either so haven’t been recording my data. Tomorrow it’s back on the program. I expect my weigh to have gone up with all the rain and […]

Garmin Player Always wanted to do this in reverse thinking it would be harder. The first 18km are mostly downhill which is a contrast to doing it the usual way. The climb after though was pretty hard. Made it to the top and the only time I stopped was for photo opportunities. By about the […]

For the last 3 years my 14 year old son and his grandfather team up for the summer vacation and work on a special project. The projects are submitted to school after summer and the good ones go in some kind of championship. Last year they made a water powered electric generator which won the […]

As far as the road will take you to Mt. Hakuba that is. Followed the Olympic road to it’s highest point. 1250m. From the restaurant and parking area there, hikers make their way to the top of the mountain. I just had an ice cream and a cola and as it was cold up there […]

The weather was great this morning and I wanted to ride South and up to the tops of the mountains overlooking Lake Aokiko. Had my usual breakfast at Gusto and whilst driving home I went to see if I could find the roads to the top of the mountains. I drove to Lake Aokiko and […]

Been cool since Saturday and my arm is still too sore to ride with in long sleeves so it’s walkies time! Raining today. Time to clean the house and sleep some more. May even get the roller out and have a spin.

Just having a break from the KevRock 2009 and emptying out my camera SD card so I can go back and see the Hoodoo Gurus perform later on tonight. Awesome so far. Japanese band the Pinky Piglets brought the house down. Just 5 minutes walk from the Hakuba Creek House hotel! Editing in Part 2: […]

First ride since Wednesday’s crash training. Still hurts to bend my arm where the long scab is forming on my elbow but most of the pain all over my body is down to a minor annoyance. This morning I went down to Gusto for their 523 yen breakfast special. 2 fried eggs, a sausage, a […]

8 bike pile up in the tunnel: (the 9th rider arrived after). Ride data: Was just in a nasty sprinters crash nightmare. Too bad there is no footage as it was a doozy! Usual Wed night sprint training: On our 3rd sprint for the night, into the tunnel, 150m to go….probably doing 45 or more […]
