Sekiyado Castle

Did my usual 20km each way castle run. Beautiful blue sky as I set out but dark clouds coming in on the way back. Hope it’s not raining for tomorrow’s Seo Festival. Averaged 30kph up the river and dawdled back home with a little sprint at the end. Going to the gym for a very […]

Didn’t feel like riding tonight at all. 3 layers up top, a skull cap, neck warmer, shoe covers etc… very cold. Just had a hot shower and my feet still feel frozen solid. 7 riders tonight. The first sprint is always the easiest for me as I don’t think the others want to try and […]
