I am off the bike for a couple of months. Had my yearly medical and received much praise for losing over 10kgs
Then they told me the reason and it was not all due to the bike and the mountains ! I have an overactive thyroid hence an accelerated metabolism hence weight loss ! Not recommended though as I also have a bad case of the shakes and thunderous heart palpitations !!
Anyway it is apparently all treatable with medicine and I am now in a routine of two weekly blood tests whilst they get the dosage right.
I asked about exercise and cycling and the doctor said no problem. Then I said how about Shibuya to Yamanakako and back. He looked at me solemnly and raised one eyebrow as if to say - you are completely barking mad - before uttering a single word - "dame !".
So I don`t know when I will be back but hopefully later in the summer. In the meantime enjoy the rides and take care everyone
