I just saw a FB post asking for suggestions for a Fuji-san training hike in Tokyo, preferably in the Shinjuku area… A lap of the station maybe??
Went to Rico Land fully intending to replace my current helmet which becomes a medieval torture instrument after an hour and they stuck some foam in the current one (for free) and maybe problem solved. Amazing service!
Road down to Lake Shikotsu with the boy and climbed a mini peak and had Japan’s second best soft cream. The sky is clean again today!🙂
I suspect IQ is just a measure of how good you are at taking tests more than anything else, hence the Asian countries with their high emphasis in tests in their education system do well.

So far GW weather has been great, but it has been so hazy the last few days, which is not photo conducive. It seems brown tinged so I assume it is China exporting their top soil again?
I think I’m going to have to bite the bullet and replace my 6 month old helmet. It felt fine in the store and for short rides, but anything more than hour is super uncomfortable. Any recommendations for comfortable helmets? I suspect my head is not Asian fit…
Beware of poison snakes! A snake slithered across my path 10 minutes later. It wasn’t a mamushi. Are there any types of other poisonous snakes in Hokkaido?
Road almost out to Erimo Penisula to tag Mt Apoi, my first summer peak for the year. Actually spend much longer on the bike than the hike. I already miss skiing
I feel like we are really stretching the boundaries of Niseko now (last time I looked Niseko doesn’t have any coastline)
Still chasing my endless winter! On the first day of GW climbed Mt Yoichi (1488m) from Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort. Super windy day so I was thinking of turning round, but luckily the summit ridge was a little sheltered and made it to the top.
Somehow I am hancho (boss) of the chonaikai (neighborhood association) again this year. My first and hopefully only presidential act is to delegate it to my wife.

Letter of resignation fired in after 6 weeks...It just wasn't the job for me...lovely work colleagues but I'd top myself going into that gig day in day out. We'll see where the cards fall but it's looking like after 16 months it'll be bye bye highlands - hello south east London.
@dadsweb67 Just climb the stairs from the Ōedo Line tracks to the surface five or six times and you've got 3,000 meters of vertical under your belt
@dadsweb67 Everyone, let's do the training at the gym. And can't do training after drinking.
@dadsweb67 I saw the same post, Takao San is 500 m , Fuji is 3776 nothing comes close in terms of training neat Tokyo.b
@DalesTranslator @dadsweb67 You can put 15 beers in me, spin me round 10 times and whack me over the head and I’ll still come out of Shinjuku station exactly where I want to be. I don’t have much, but I have this
@dadsweb67 Maybe you could take the stairs up the Tochou building.
@dadsweb67 With the stations volume of people, a very realistic training location. On your mark, set, GO for it!
There gonna be slopes which resembles the slant mountain roads😅
I just saw a FB post asking for suggestions for a Fuji-san training hike in Tokyo, preferably in the Shinjuku area… A lap of the station maybe??
@dokool @dadsweb67 @DalesTranslator Ginza, a humble tube station with 18 exits (I think)
@dadsweb67 Board the Chuo line to Takaosanguchi and hike up Takaosan
@unprisonplanet @dokool @dadsweb67 Not as humble as my local station...
@dadsweb67 @DalesTranslator First time I arrived in Shinjuku it took me 90mins to get out (no Google maps). I told a local about this and they remarked that 90mins wasn't a bad effort for the first time. It takes much quicker now since the redevelopment thankfully
