They couldn't have done it without each other, both of them earned my respect.mobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15740078823008165116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730233429051035621.post-14674461910023939202009-10-27T19:08:24.164+09:002009-10-27T19:08:24.164+09:00Good catch!

While in no way wishing to detract from the achievement, one of the bikes looks like it has a rear derailleur in one of the pictures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730233429051035621.post-91803204491891002912009-10-24T20:39:26.352+09:002009-10-24T20:39:26.352+09:00This is quite kawaii.

And of course doing relatively steep and long slopes like Matsuhime in single gear. Presumably without knowing how much more they had in front of them - maybe that's the trick! And finally going down Matsuhime on an unstable mamachari is quite amazing.<br /><br />Maybe for the sake of training we should all train on mamacharis, so doing a race on a road racer will feel like an easy sanmpo ride...Manfred von Holsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569864868439666760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730233429051035621.post-38859969161452827592009-10-24T16:05:35.290+09:002009-10-24T16:05:35.290+09:00Michael:

They definitely deserve the P.E. orange gloves award.<br /><br />As for me, work this weekend means no real riding. Given timing on this project, I am getting a bit worried about the next two weekends (Motegi, Saiko), but will do my best, and should have a clearer view by mid-week.<br /><br />Best, David L.David Litthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09821846303393230109noreply@blogger.com
