This morning I was back on my bicycle. I haven't ridden for what seems like the longest time.

It's nice to actually get on the bike again. You have a feeling of freedom that you don't get when you are driving your car. Your muscles also feel rather relaxed on the first part of the firt ride.... but....

You hit a WALL very quickly. You run out of puff, your legs turn to jelly and no matter how much you yell at your legs, either inside your mind or actually verbally (which is always a favourite for those around you), your legs just wont pump any harder.

You blame the wind, you blame your tyres... but in fact, it's YOU.... :)

Anyhow, I've recently bought an IPhone and I'm using an application called Cyclemeter. This application is fantastic. I don't look at the application while I am riding but I do use it to record my rides for future reference.

Here's a link to this mornings ride.

Even though my numbers aren't that great, I'm sure if I continue I'll be able to see them improve. Now, I just need a speed meter to stop that glitch when I go through the tunnel and the GPS just does some amazing things.

Until next time...

The whole FT86 vs BRZ saga has tickled me a little. They are the same car.

However, I do prefer the styling of the BRZ to the FT86.

Yesterday, I decided to try and do something healthy and went for a jog. This just happened to coincide with me traveling down the "Sakura" street. I'd been trying not to go outside so much due to a fairly bad dose of hay fever.

But this is something that should not be missed.

See you again next year.......

Until next time.

Yesterday I picked up a bargain from RC Paradise. It was a HPI Savage XS SS. The kit was made, but the body not yet painted.

Thank you ラジコン天国徳島店

I chose the blue aluminium and a simple one colour job with some black cut out of the rear tray. I think it looks pretty good to be honest.

Anyhow, this RC is initally to be used by my son. It is super under-powered at the moment. :)

And, I get to practice my photography yet again.

Until next time....

Today, being a Saturday that finally has some good weather, is a great day for going outside and soaking some sun rays. It's also a great day to go out and play with your buggies.

And we did!!!

It was a HUGE amount of fun.

I think I'm managing to understand how to drive the buggy offroad without breaking so much. You still flip at times but I'm doing a little better than before.

Kigu-san and I both had our scary moments. Kigu was lucky that the rice field next door hasn't filled up with water yet, like the fields behind.

And I'm lucky my car didn't fall into a drain, which was 1m full of running water. Talk about a heart stopper...

Here's a few pictures of us in action.

Until next time...
