Nexus One

I’ve never had the urge to buy an i-phone but this phone from google may be the one that cyclists turn to. It will have great interactivity with google maps and what I’m wondering is how much it will effect companies like Garmin. Having a heart rate monitor may be what saves some of the […]

Dandelion tea

Confusing weighing yourself everyday. Weight up, body fat down. That’s why it’s important not to starve yourself or fret too much if the figures don’t make sense. We want good weight loss not muscle loss. I feel my metabolism is picking up already this year. I’ve been drinking a lot of tanpopocha which is Japanese […]

Stats Day 5

No weight stats today as I’ve yet to shower… First day back at work today and an easy two and a half hours it was. Two hours tomorrow, then back to full time schedule from Thursday. Today there was a nice northerly breeze blowing which helped me on the outward bound journey and it was […]

Awareness Test: Look Out For Cyclists

Stats Day 4

Had a recovery day yesterday and just spent the day tweaking my websites and making New Year’s nengajyo cards which I’m late in sending. Have to be careful with the daily mileage average. Cold and cloudy today and looks like snow may be coming soon. Will have to get on the rollers. Stats Day 4 […]

Mt Tsukuba New Year’s Ride

Today’s route: Today around 25 members of Semas Racing did our annual New Year’s ride to a temple. ‘hatsumoude‘. The last three years we had been going to Narita-san but it is always very crowded and not easy to park 30 or 40 expensive bicycles safely. This year we put forward different ideas and Mt. […]

New Year’s Resolution

Usually it is to lose weight but that usually fails so I’m going to ambush that one with this one. 12000km for the year. That’s 1000km per month. That’s 33.707865168539325842696629213483km per day. Today was the annual New Year’s Day family get together at the in-law’s house. That means partaking in the traditional ‘osechi’ New Year’s […]

Last Post For 2009

I have been extra lazy this month so I can attack 2010 with no excuses. My yearly mileage tally was lower than the previous 2 years and because of that I haven’t added the last months figures to the total. My PDA that was recording this had also not been used much and the battery […]

Seo Festival 2009

Even though I wasn’t going to race, I was going to ride. Up bright and early and took a leisurely 58km ride to get to Shimoufusa Friendly Park race venue. Here is the route I took This is the first Seo Festival that I watched as a spectator and not a participant. Having been dropped […]

MTB in Noda 2009

On Sunday, I took the Fondriest down the Edo to the Tone canal and then across to the Tone river to where the annual Noda MTB race was held. For the last four years I’ve wanted to go and watch or even participate. After watching this year, I may even give it a try next […]
