This morning, there was so much anger on the roads. I've never, in 12 years, experienced the sheer number of people whom have no patience nor understand how to behave on the roads.

Please, for everyone's sake, slow down and have some patience. Saying "sorry" doesn't fix everything.

The rice is growing so fast these days.
It's a little hot, however the breeze makes it a little more comfortable.
I went riding with my son. We both had a fantastic time.
With sights like these, this is why we've chosen to live here.

With the extension of my-anan into my-tokushima, we're thinking bigger than we ever have.

Tomorrow, I'm going on a tour. This tour is going to take me to the edge of Tokushima in the south. I'm going from the Michi-no-eki, in Anan, all the way down to the southern most Michi-no-eki before you enter Kochi Prefecture. This trip will be done by bicycle.

It's about 67 kilometers each way. It's going to be a big day.

I'm sure my equipment is up to the task. I'll regrease the chain in the morning, but I'm more worried about the food and drink I'll need. Water I can buy but I'm not too sure about the food. It might just be a convenience store crawl.

Oh well, here goes nothing.

I ride my bike a lot. I really enjoy it. I like being outside. I like the exercise and I like the fact that I can go a fair distance on my bike rather than my car.
I have never raced, however I really regret that I did not get into that side of the sport. Maybe there still is a chance.

I am now working on increasing the number of cycling routes that we have currently shown on our cycling page. The only problem I have is choosing if the people seeing the page will be as crazy as me and want to go that far.

I guess I'll have to employ both bikes for both long range and short distance journeys.

I feel it's going to be a fun summer.

It seems like the rainy season this year has been going on forever. I do believe that it's almost over and I have little faith in the weather forecast ability.

I have, however, been trying to get out and about as much as possible. I'm not a big fan of the humidity but you just have to live with that.

I had a real sprint to work this morning. It's always better to have a partner in almost anything you do. They are a really great source of inspiration and motivation.
