i am a temporary ex-pat, living in the countryside of japan...am i allowed to post?? it's nice to read all about the joys of cycling back home...racing down mt. p, peds, navigating uni, autos, potholes, snow...oh joy! for now, i enjoy cherry blossoms, riding in the mountains and watching the ocean as i roll along the coast.

oh yeah, i cannot forget to sent a shout to samhouston (you still riding with the mess or just doing undertheweather??)...you may guess, it's 323 that went to teach english in the land of the rising sun.

everyone, take it easy and keep the rubberside down!
