Saturday, July 30th, 2011C2C Touge Grenade : GW2011
Tuesday, May 10th, 2011
What are we talking about here?
C2C = coast to coast = Pacific Ocean to Japan Sea
Touge = A pass between two adjacent territories traversing some sort of natural geographical barrier = 峠
Grenade = a small package with a big punch!
So, a relatively short ride (compared to an ironbutt) from the Pacific Ocean to Japan Sea via as many twisty bits as can be strung together. All in a day!
Sunday Squirt goes RADIOACTIVE!

WHO said it was ok to roll, checked the Geiger stations and forecast wind direction/weather and all was favorable. So fired up the FuzZ and went searching for X-Men powers.
No-one on the roads and great weather 5-12degC.
A day in Shikoku

Fantastic place to ride and although I rode 6days there, only these scratchings have been etched. No time for the pen in a place like Shikoku!
Sunday Squirt
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009
Well, I guess I gotta keep punching the keys to keep my totally unwarranted place at the SBK blogspot. As I don’t have much competition here yet I can just write whatever I want, right?
So today it’s the sunday-squirt write up.
All of us have a favorite road, set of roads or a route that includes some cool roads. Kantonians know the Izu skyline and most know the west Izu run or the Doshi-Fuji Skyline-469 trifecta and I had a great run around the back of Asama-yama, in Nagano, on a seemingly endless roller coaster of bitchin backroads a few months back. The unfortunate thing is some of these roads are too far away and others are just too well known by all the wrong people.
So, where do you go for a good Sunday ride? (more…)
