Inuyama Cycle Meeting / 犬山サイクルミーティング

We participated in a cycle race in Inuyama city, Aichi pref. This is a bimonthly race held in The Little World Museum of Man. It has a 2.5km round road and there are many reconstructed houses coming from all over the world. 
This race has three category, beginner(7.5km), intermediate(17.5km), advanced(37.5km). For us it was the first time, so we took part in a beginner's category.

The green helmets are the advanced riders.

Blue is the intermediate level.

Starting time at 7am. If you are in beginner's race, you will be able to finish after 20 mins. So you can go anywhere after this race in your holiday. My acquaintance participates before going to work. See the next race in August!

先日、犬山サイクルミーティングというものに参加してきました。犬山リトルワールド内で２ヶ月ごとに開催されているレースで、３つのカテゴリーがあり、初めてだったのでビギナークラスに参加しました。
朝７時にスタートなので、すぐ終わるしその後どこにでも行けます。知り合いは会社に行く前に参加しています。今度は８月やね〜！

Mt. Gozaisyo

I climbed Mt. Gozaisyo in Mie prefecture. In japan, mountain climbing is in.
Mt. Gozaisyo is a popular mountain which is 1,212m high, so it is very crowded in weekend. And It has three routes to the top. I choose the Naka(center)-route. This route is so amusing, but it took about 4 hours(normally about 3 hours).

You can see Yokkaichi-city and Ise bay.

And I went down a mountain by the Gozaisyo Ropeway that takes only 12 minutes. So I could avoid the crowed, and it was so comfortable. Next time, I’d like to go this mountain when there are fewer people. 

My toes（つま先）

It's a crisp winter day. But I went to the park to Long slow distance training. After a while, my toes were numb with cold. I have to buy the overshoes...But wait a minute! I'll order it from my friend who runs Naff wetsuits. I think making the overshoes is as easy as breathing for him. Hey! Thanks in advance.
今日も寒かったのですが、無駄に元気な僕は近くの公園にロングスローディスタンストレーニングをしに行きました。しばらく走っていると寒くて足の指がしびれてきたので、シューズカバーを買わなきゃな〜なんて思ってましたが…そうだ！ナフウェットスーツに注文しよう！簡単だよね？一つよろしくたのみます！

伊豆白浜

 Overload? No! It's the same as always.

 Surfer dudes. 愛すべきろくでなし連中。

A new year's ride

 You can see the castle behind me in this picture. It's Inuyama Castle. It has been designated as a national treasure. That's small but beautiful and well-kept.
And we went through the Owari park way for the first time. In fact, the Owari park way was a limited highway, so it's not easy to ride a bike. But I think it's a good training route because there is no road signal.
See the next ride!

恒例新年ライド、今回は犬山城をまわり尾張パークウェイを通る約60kmのコース。尾張パークウェイは元々自動車専用道なのでチャリで走るのはちょっと怖いけどいい感じにトレーニングできそう。また行きまっせ。

Surf & NAFF wetsuits

Yesterday I went surfing with my friend. In Irago area, the wave was small but we had a relaxing time.
On our way to home, we visited my good friend who is running a wetsuit fabrication factory.

He has been making wetsuits for surfers and triathletes for 5 years. Brand name is "NAFF wetsuits". It is functional, durable, and simple. And yes! "HAND MADE IN JAPAN"!

My friend has ordered a new semi-dry suit...

知多半島一周のつもりが

昨日、鈴鹿エンデューロの練習で知多半島を走りましたが、迷ってしまって一周になってません。

My friend has upgraded his bike's fork, wheels and so on. We could work our way up to joining the SUZUKA enduro.
