jet lag

Got back in Kashiwazaki at 15:30 today. More than 24 hours on the road. A quick search for bottles and kit, pump up the tyres, on the road by 16:00. “Jitensha Bakka!” says the mother-in-law....

I met Sagara san in Nota. I introduced him to Komura Toge and then a lap of this Sunday's じょんのび　marathon course

After almost a month off the road bike, I was planning to take it easy but having someone riding along side you makes you push yourself perhaps twice as hard as you would normally.

Got the HR up to 180 on Komura Pass and the race course too.

We'll meet up again for some asaren tomorrow. Providing I can get up......

Wednesday's training: Komura Pass x 1, じょんのび　marathon course x 1 lap (45 km, 500 m climbing)
