this is justin at the end of a very long 3 days of cycling -- almost 110km (70mi) per day. Went w/ some of our other friends from the base - had great weather, great scenery, great support, great food...jsut a few snafus - like 3 busted tires and a crash at 41km/hr...but you know Justin, he just bounces. I'll have him write more about the race but if you click on the picture you can see more of where they stayed (traditional Japanese hotels) and what they ate and how many people were there!!!

we might do it together next year. we'll see!!
