I've been a little bored lately, so I've taken to browsing thru some of the pics that appear at the top of the forums page.

So..., can anyone tell me where & when the Tour de Utsukushigahara is?

Rides out of Matsumoto city up to the Utsukushigahara highland. It's really steep from the start. After 5kms it flattens out for 1km. Then it climbs again at about 7% av. The last 2 or 3km are a fast up and down rollercoaster.

Held in June, it forms part of the hillclimb series which includes Chokai at the end of July and Norikura next weekend.

I won a Nintendo wii there a few years ago. Better than the usual bags of rice and sake...

Hahaha! I can still feel them brushing against my arm :)

Sorry that a couple of you took me seriously--I should've had the wink or something else on there in the first place.

So, I can of course be a little jealous of @TOM, there, but this next pic..., hmm...

Tom it looks like your arm is acting as some kind of support. He he he!

@jdd is that you in the pool?
 
No, not me. (While I do cream my crotch, I don't tint my toes.)

Actually, the caption suggested it might be Thomas' legs.
 
haha! Retouched Pic?!? Never seen it that way. Oh well, those were the days. I'm wiser now (probably) :)bonus.jpg
Bonus for John:tup

Another oddball that couldn't've been posed if you'd spent all day planning it. A mamachari rider in the back, someone reading left, and another non-cyclist just sitting, bikes all around, and an inexplicable pose by the only cyclist there.

And then there's that bit to the lower right on the blue sheet. I think I see an arm, and another body (head covered?), or something like that. (and a boot)

And this is Chiba, so who knows what those blips on the horizon are.
