A few more pictures we're milking from last month's Tour Of Japan opening stage in Sakai, Osaka. This time it's MTB's. Hidden amongst all the road bikes there were a few very nice spectator's MTB's tucked away. Not one Litespeed...

But two! This second one kitted out with XTR and Mavic. #Want...

Also spotted on the day was this rather nice Gary Fisher full bouncer...

26 ain't dead people!

Before The Flood

It started off so well, a quick combini stop before heading over to Hiejo for an afternoon spin yesterday...

And then a hard rain fell. Buckets of rain. We ducked inside a doorway as thunder went crashing...

After an hour or so the rains let up...

A few photo ops in the usual places around the very, very wet palace...

Just watching the rivers flow...

The first reader to call in and list all the pretentious Bob Dylan references in this post wins a handle from the vandals.
