50k this morning on the bike. Have had a very good week on the bike actually.. over 400k but have totally neglected my running and swimming. Climbing Mount Fuji tomorrow and snowboarding down so that will count as my long run for the week then Sunday will try get in a bike/swim brick. Slowly losing ...

Nah havent read the book but Ive seen the film though.. surprisingly good I thought. It wont quite be a winter ascent though.. its springtime here now but Fuji is still covered in snow and wont open up to hikers officially until July. Ive boarded it once before a couple of years ago but it wasnt gre...

Went to jimbocho tonight which is Tokyos bigest outdoor sports district.. It was f**king heaven. Anyway bought myself some crampons and a new shovel as me and a mate are planning on climbing Fuji on Friday nigh/ Saturday morning to snowboard down. Hopefully take about 5-6 hours of climbing and a muc...

Just back tonight from 3 fantastic days cycling in Chiba in Japan.. 1st day 160k coastal ride which was great as not a cloud and a nice tailwind the whole way.. Day 2 was mountains.. 180k with about 4 pretty decent climbs thrown in there.. Day 3 180k of pretty nice flat rolling countryside.. Awesome...

Just noticed they are selling it and the money goes to John Muir Trust and Scottish Mountain Rescue - you can get it here. http://www.tubularfells.com/index.php/munroverground/new-munro-map Bought that fo...

Point taken on the food front Bobby but I just have to do what works for me and right now that is shedding weight ASAP. I have 16 weeks to shed 10kgs at least. I realise it'd be much healthier if I trained all year moderately rather than polarise it into going mad v bingeing but thats just my mental...

hk, do you remember ben p from school? he's based over in ny nowadays. think he was about your year Yeah top lad.. was the captain year after me. Very underated player.. no idea how he never played county level at least. Hard as nails. Last I saw of him he was working in sales at Merrills I think. ...

Haven made an appearance on this thread on the new bored primarily cos I have been a fat lazy cyunt for the past 8 months and put on a ton of weight. Anyway sudden realisation today that Im supposedly doing an Ironman in less than 4 months so need to drop 10kgs and get fit pretty damn fcuking quick...

Nepal (Maoist insurgents and fuckwit trekkers aside) is pretty high on the friendliness stakes. Kathmandu has lost a lot of it's earlier friendliness, but it's still a lot better than almost any other major city. Ghana is a great call, especially compared to some of the nearby countries. Yep the Gh...

extending the season another few weeks here apparently although my snowboards already been put away for the year. Not a fan of spring boarding.

Fantastic show. How many programmes can you say are genuinely laugh out loud funny and you can watch with your mum. Have to say I normally hate child actors but those in Modern Family are very very good and actually add to the show.

Lifts open early December.. Ive done quite a few Xmas and New Year trips and by then youve usually got good conditions. January and February are pretty much guaranteed to be brilliant snow everywhere but it will be very cold and usually windy with a lot of snowstorms so visibility can be suspect. I ...

yeah thats true enough about the weather in Alasaka TB to be fair.. of the 7 days we had in Alaska we had 3 down days and we were lucky by all accounts. Not too sure about the heliboarding in Japan now..mate says its gone really mild in Hakuba this week and is raining right now. You really take your...

Just a quick heads up! for those that would like to push themselves a little harder in the backcountry, we are running a trip to Macedonia next season cat skiing/boarding if there is anybody interested in a trip of a lifetime without the usual costs associated with such an adventure If I was availa...

How many minutes does a game go for? 35 minutes a side Cheers.... Aussie Rules goes 100 minutes plus time out of play. Considering that, I'd say it's faster. And harder. And more skillful. Sorry but absolutely no chance its faster or more skillful and I say that as a total neutral who enjoys both.

At the Asian games they always put together a bit of an exhibition match from the lads who can hurl from all the teams. Am always surprised that some of the lads who are awesome GAA players cant hurl for shit and vice versa. I had a wee bash but fcuk me its one of those games that if you didnt play ...

Good pics, mate. --- http://a6.idata.over-blog.com/0/19/24/98/Wallpapers/snow-canyon-japon.jpg wow Pretty sure thats Hokkaido. Wasnt far off those levels in places last week when I was up there. They had 12.5 metres of snow in just Jan and Feb alone so given the roads get exaggerated because they c...

The big thing about Whistler- Blackcombe - and the thing I found myself explaining to locals virtually everytime I met them - is not the powder, the moguls, the back-country, or the groomed slopes. All resorts have these in varying degrees, and unless you are really into one type of skiing/snowboar...

Got a mate going out to Niseko, Japan later this week. Got any recommendations for pubs, clubs, back country ski areas? Bump in case HKCJ is around? How did your mate get on in Niseko Bealonian? Im just back from 4 fantastic days.. great snow (fresh 30cm every day), great visibility. Mates had been...

bealonian - sorry i typed out a reply but lost my connection and the post Late here so need to go to bed but will post some recommendations from work tomorrow

Just back from an epic weekend in Hakuba. Had 40 cm of fresh yesterday morning then another 50 this morning. We did a tour with 3 time Olympian Steve Lee and it didnt disappoint. Went to a mountain hadnt been before Iwatake and had incredible powder in the trees there. Not sure if any of you regular...

HKCJ - as lovely as that P3 is, do you really think you can face 4-6 hours in an aero position on a TT bike? 4-6 hours?! Sadly Joost I think it will be more like 6-9!! Will have to do a lot of core work to get the most out of it but I prob spend 60% of my time in saddle in aero position anyway on m...

My baby.. http://assets1.ridewithgps.com/photos/medium/17602.jpg It was after seeing yours that I brought a Pinarello Treviso, HKCJ, but I was disappointed. The cycle gear wasn't wonderful, and after considering the cost of upgrades I brought I Giant instead. Really Groucho sorry to hear. Have to s...

My baby..

Im not sure I like it. Too old for change these days.

Anyway just testing like...
