Hi,
Have been lurking the site for a quite a while, some great stuff about Japan and Cycling on here!
I am a Japanese Citizen living overseas and am moving from Canada to Nasu-Shiobara, Tochigi in a few months, and am...
1. Looking for a club and some people to ride with in the Nasu-Shiobara area. Ideally, a mix of racing and social rides. I can speak Japanese at the Native Level (thanks Mom!) but my reading and writing needs work. I know there is a local pro team, Nasu Blasen, which is pretty neat for a small town. Maybe they can point me in the right direction?
2. There is a velodrome in Utsunomiya (which is pretty close to Nasu-Shiobara) and would also be interested in racing there. How is it to race on the velodrome in Japan, and are there categories like road racing? I raced the local weekly series at the velodrome in Burnaby, BC and have ridden the track in London, Ontario. Track racing is so much more interesting than road racing! Gogogogogog sprint!
3. I have raced in Canada and the USA at the Pro 1/2 (Don't get me wrong, I'm more of a Cat 2 than a Pro), and am getting back into racing shape. How is the racing scene in the Kanto area?
I have taken my road bicycle to Japan before, and absolutely adore the riding. Smooth roads, mountains everywhere, convenience stores and vending machines to recharge, and the best food in the world. I'm not sure what more I want in terms of cycling.
Anyway Thanks for reading, and hope to see some of you on the roads soon.
