Touring! On our way to Soma, Fukushima

Last weekend I went on a ride with 10 other people on bikes and an old VW bus with a couple people in it. We went for about a 2 hour ride and then had a BBQ at a park...it was a lot of fun. This vid is on the way to the park. (at the end of the video I put the camera in my pocket I thought I turned it off!...sorry)

Here are some more Hokkaido pics.....it was an awesome trip. The campsite below was FREE!!! Open roads!!!!!!!! If you look close you can see a camera attached to my helmet (yellow bike)...
A famous area in Japan for flowers.....as you can see!
Preliminary test to make sure the water isn't too cold to go for a swim...
Idaho?.....Colorado......no.... .....JAPAN.

Gimme 5!!!!!!

Here are some pics of the other weekend. Netty (an Ozzie chick- and good friend from work) and I went for a nice Sunday (actually Monday) drive to an onsen (Japanese hot spring) It was a really relaxing day and a good time. You can see us wearing a "yukata"- a Japanese robe, that the hot spring lets you wear while you are chilling or on the massage chair in between going for soaks in the outdoor and indoor pools.... I love Japan....
