Andy, you are looking very fearsome! With that burning look in your eyes you got to beat Nishitani-san! Wish I could do asarens on a daily basis too. See you soon at the Takao start line and look forward to what will most probably be a very, very brief ride together!

Tom,
Burning look? Sleepy look!
I've only started asaren seriously this year. It has many advantages:
get your training out of the way early
makes you more disciplined the night before!
train at the same time of day that you race
and perhaps most importantly, minimum impact on family time....
As for the race, usually I'm on my own by the top of that first pass from Takao station. It's then been a solo TT all the way to Itoigawa. However, this year I'm hoping there'll be a few of us together at the top of the pass. After that, there are good drafting opportunities, so we should be able to work together. Let's focus on getting over that first climb together and take it from there...
Also, I'll have a better idea of how to ride it when I see who we're sharing our start time with (:
