Japan Coast to Coast : A Ride Report

Chapeau! Awe inspiring stuff.

I had an (very minor in comparison to yours) accident recently but this has given me the kick up the arse I needed to go out and challenge myself again.

Absolutely awesome 👏

Fantastic ride, and a really enjoyable write up! Thanks for that.

Great post man - really awesome to complete that ride at any point, let alone after such a heavy recovery. Inspirational stuff! Also your Field is the nuts.

Thank you so much to everyone for the positive feedback and for being so complimentary about the challenge (and the writing). Also, for anyone who commented saying that it had given them somewhat of a push in their own recovery/training, that's amazing.

Despite always enjoying creative writing, aside for some writing with The North Race back in the day, I had never really applied it to cycling, especially not together with the photos I take on my trips. I had considered starting a cycling blog where I could nurse those two hobbies a little more and everyones comments on here are giving me a drive to reconsider that idea so...thank you.

Just had a re read of this! Great write up, it gives me inspiration to challenge myself, though I need the results from my MRI scan before I can start planning!!

Also, your photos are lovely! What camera do you use? Once again a really elegant write up!

Thank you for your kind words.

I use a Ricoh GRII as it's a good jersey pocket size.

Chaps, just a quick post to say that I am now documenting stuff via Flickr.

Recently uploaded are 3 separate CX races from across Japan, most notably the Rapha Super Cross in Nobeyama.
