total recharge

An easy ride last Wednesday. Then 3 days off. Real days off. Resting like a pro.

Unfortunately Mark had to go into hospital for 3 days. Nothing serious. But a chance to really rest.

I spent 3 days in bed with him. Playing lego. Reading books. Feet up. Taking naps...

Asaren on Sunday. Feels great to be on the bike again. At 4:30 it's 20 degrees.

An Ogami TT (25:25). I felt okay. But I can go harder.

Another climb of Ogami Dake. From Yoshikawa village it's steep all the way.

Shiba Toge, still in the low 20s. Great views at the top.

Isonobe. 8 am now and it's 32 degrees. Feel good though. 170 HR keep.

Finally, head down. A TT back to Kashiwazaki.

After that effort an easy spin this morning. Just to get the blood flowing.

Shiori Toge reccy planned for tomorrow.
