The Drought is Over

With some serious blogging over the last few months, things have ground to a bit of a halt. In a moment of laptop spring-cleaning madness, I managed to delete a few updates I had stored for uploading when I found some internet somewhere. Three good long drawn out races, just the sort of stories I know you all love, gone, though no other reason than operator error. Oh well, now you will get the short versions, as I have no interest in repeating my work. I am sure there was some 'Bloggers Block', and a bad case of 'CBF' thrown in as well

And actually having some spare time since landing in Europe has been non-existent at this stage, and doesn’t look like it is going to change in a hurry. So time to start the short versions (there has been a lot of racing) or else I just start from where I am now, and save myself a lot work in the meantime.

I will try to give you the short versions of all the races I have working on, we see. Of course you always have the photo pages to make up your own stories from. I will endevour to fill in the odd race report for the past, but don’t count on too much, too soon.

In the mean time here are a couple of things to keep you busy, just to give me a bit more time to get organised.

The coolest bike storage building in the world, only in Japan. Just park your bike, swipe your card and it's gone. When you are ready for the ride hime, swipe the card again, and in under 25 seconds, it's ready to roll home. Now thats the sort of thing they need in every city.



And one of the coolest pedal powered machines I have seen for a while. This even looks like you can ride it as well. A blast from the past, made in the modern era. I got to get me one of these. Check it out a bit more here
