Cycle Cross Race at Shonai Park

A Sunday full of sweat and pain. The usual suspects gathered last weekend for a day of racing at Shonai Park. Needless to say, I finished next to last. I was trying to be last. Better luck next time. Here's a video I made of the event.

Cruising

Some more picts from the Himakajima trip. Gotta make plans for another ride down there soon.

Himakajima - Continued

The ride down to Himaka Island was alot of fun and the NUTs riders were up to their usual antics. The free Sake samples in the Handa city Sake museum was probably not a good idea, but it sure was tasty! Riebo did a great job organizing the ride and getting us transportation to the Island as well as reseving the rooms and dinner at the Ryokan. The Chita peninsular is a fun and fairly easy ride and good for a two day trip. I think I'll plan another ride down there later this Spring.

Road trip! - Himakajima

Friday morning, 11 NUTs met at Chita Handa station and spent the day cycling down the coast of the Chita peninsular. The winds were out of control but we made it safely to the southern tip to catch a water taxi across to Himaka Island. I'll post photos of the ryokan we stayed in and some of the blow fish we ate that night.
