Well, it was a great weekend and you can see how happy we are!!!! Jumping for joy because of the awesome weather for this past long weekend. Friday was a day of preparation for a tour with Ya-Chan and I as assistants to the former MTB Olympian Kanako Kobayashi. She had a tour of 120 people organized along with the city of Omachi for Sunday. Ya-Chan and I were 2 of the 10 assistants for the ride. It took 4 hours and was a bit long but a great day for an easy ride. We got our workout when we had to ride back to the starting point which took us less than an hour, but we hammered it!!!!!!

Monday was another perfect blue sky day and Kouji, Ya-chan and I went out for a local ride after having a great thanksgiving dinner the night before at Tracks bar with over 30 others.... MMMMM turkey, twas goooooooddddddddd!!!! Thanks for the spread Troy and Sakiko. We later rocked it out to a fantastic band from Nagoya, played Canadian tunes and you could tell the true Canadians by the way they started bouncing on the dance floor when they played The Hip!!!!!

Next week it is off to the final race of the season.......it is a tough one, going to rip it up hopefully!!!! Until then, have a great short week!!!!!
