My Elephant Bikes NFE (right) and the bike of a friend of mine and fellow randonneur (left) in front of Lake Yamanaka near Mt Fuji at the 400 km BRM512 brevet by AJ Nishi-Tokyo. I finished with 2h00m spare, for 25h00m total - my best 400 km time ever



Aokigahara forest near Mt Fuji, also known as the 'suicide forest'.



Stop and smell the roses - at the fence around the TDK factory in Yamanashi. The company planted beautiful rose bushes along a public highway that runs next to the factory, where I passed during the brevet. Back in the days, TDK SA-90 tapes used to be my recording medium of choice for audio mixes.
