Sunday Video Training

After playing a dismal game of golf yesterday was in no mood to do anything physical today so I took the shopping bicycle across the bridge to test out the new video camera. Today is the day that I normally race in Saiko for the Nikkan Sports Nakano Memorial race. I’ve done the last 5 […]

Rides of Late

Have not been keeping this blog up to date with my rides because I haven’t really been riding much and have the Autumn riding blues where I tend to get slack because it’s starting to get cold. Bought a new set of rain jacket and cycling rain pants today to force me to ride to […]

Airedaling

Over the last 3 weeks I haven’t ridden much and spent a bit more time with the dogs. Here Sora and Sky had a father and son’s day at a grooming get together on October 4th and then a dog show and sport’s day last Sunday the 25th. Sky’s sister Momo came to both events […]

Watarase

With the annual Tour De Chiba on this weekend training was cancelled. A lot of them went on the night bus to ride today’s stage. As I bought my bike to save money I don’t actually like paying to ride unless it’s a race fee. Instead I did my own tour of Chiba today. I […]

Back to work tomorrow!

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 […]

Ogawagawa ride in reverse

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 […]

Electric Power

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 […]

Creek House to Mt. Hakuba

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 […]

Creek House to Sierra Resort Loop

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 […]
