The Village Velodrome Appreciation Society: October 2006
http://tvvas.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
The Village Velodrome Appreciation Society. A blog about jitensha and jogging. Tuesday, October 31, 2006. I'm off work today because of my cold. And I have no running to report, so I thought I'd share some musings on the world's two most powerful leaders - George W. Bush and Tony Blair. Makes you wonder how the two most powerful leaders communicate with each other. Carrier pigeon? Maybe they're both closet ham radio afficionados. I can imagine Tony getting off on saying "10-4 good buddy" to George. Now I...

The Village Velodrome Appreciation Society. A blog about jitensha and jogging. Wednesday, January 31, 2007. Haven't blogged for awhile. Hardly feel like I'm a runner anymore. Been doing my strength exercises, stretching a bit but not enough, and bought a golf ball today to help my foot muscles. I have so much energy - basically, I've peaked now after all my weeks of training, but I'm not allowed to run. Posted by GKK @ 2:18 pm. Links to this post. Sunday, January 28, 2007. I wonder what will happen in th...

Strange huh, I saw two Kalavinkas in one day, now I've seen two Gan Well Pros in one day. What are the wheels on the red bike? They look painted - perhaps some old Nimbles? Posted by GKK @ 10:18 am. Links to this post. Thursday, September 28, 2006. I took some pictures of really nice Gan Well Pro track bikes today. Stay tuned, I'll upload them soon. Posted by GKK @ 7:29 pm.

The Village Velodrome Appreciation Society. A blog about jitensha and jogging. Wednesday, March 28, 2007. I've got a cold. My first one in about a year. I didn't get colds when I ran every day.

The 21 21 Design Sight building doesn't sull...

The Village Velodrome Appreciation Society. A blog about jitensha and jogging. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Today, following a 30 minute run, the knees on both sides are a little sore. Not the limp-inducing, aching, clicking things they once were, but just a bit tender. Recovered? I guess - better than they were. Posted by GKK @ 12:35 pm. Links to this post. Tuesday, February 27, 2007. It was great to just run again. I wish I could go for a long run. Posted by GKK @ 10:27 pm. Links to this post. Well, I...

We're going to see Obachan - but not the parents or their yappy old beagle because they're on holiday overseas. I hate the yappy beagle. The yappy old beagle. Don't let looks deceive you, this is one bad dog. Posted by GKK @ 8:09 am. Links to this post. Monday, December 25, 2006. My nice new shoes. Http:/ www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page1.asp.

The Village Velodrome Appreciation Society. A blog about jitensha and jogging. Monday, April 23, 2007. I checked out a bike shop today Ishikawa Cycle Sports in Ryogoku. It's like a museum of European bicycle parts. The guy who owns it has an amazing collection of parts - some for sale, some not. I think I need to learn how to speak to older shitamachi men. All of my efforts to talk to the owner of the shop fell flat. "Sugoi gitensha ya! Exchanging ideas. "Kono rim mimasuka (have you seen this rim! In fro...

In my very first post I mentioned Fitte out in Kita Senju - a bit of a journey out there, but the guys there really know their stuff - and they can speak English.
