This will be our second cycling tour in Japan (the first being our trip to Northern Tohoku this time last year). We’ve gotten a hold of a bunch of new gear in preparation for our trip across Japan this August. In addition to new gear, we are trying out this new little piece of web-dom that will chronicle whatever cycle related mischief we get into. Our other (mostly neglected but sometimes updated) blog will continue for at least a little longer but all cycle touring and general cycle related goings on will live here. If it doesn’t work out, no harm done.

We’ll hopefully be updating the location map and posting journal entries as often as we have internet but seeing as WiFi is pretty scarce in Japan, it may be difficult.

Alright – panniers packed, bikes maintenanceded and weather looking nice. Time for sleep!

Oh, and the site is still very much under construction so expect many things to change as we figure things out.
