First Crash of the Year!

 I usually fall off my bike once or twice a year , this year my first tumble was a good one! Even better was Mike from visiting Japan for some riding got it all on Video. I ride this section all the time but somehow I got it wrong on this day. Happy to walk away with only some blood flowing!
  Enjoy

4 Days in the Mountains

  I just had a 4 day mini camp with Jonas from Belgium. we spent the 4 days riding in the mountains that surround us here in Nagano. Jonas is a very fit 26 year old and he and I put in some good kilometers and lots of vertical. I lost a couple of kilos and feel a little bit better on the bike just a few more and I might actually be in good shape. I realized during this time that I had been spending more time on the Mountainbike lately and had forgotten how beautiful the riding is around here.  Jonas was riding my Classic Tange Tubed Italian Colnago road bike , check out the picture , nice fit Thanks Jonas!
