The beer cap should definitely aid the recumulator on his ride with recumbent girl….is there a attatchment to hold a bottle of liquor and is there a hanger attatchment for washing?

Thanks John… I did listen already to that great interview and marvel at the guy that he could spend 20 years there. China is a “challenging” place to work and excel in and Todd is obviously excelling! Physically China and Japan are close, but it would be like comparing USA and Central America…

There are a few odd (as in sparse, not strange) cross events in Japan, but the movement isn’t catching on too fast here.. proabably because of their abhorance to anything dirty!..

OZ Dreaming — make sure to check out the next podcast. There’s an interview with China Todd out of Beijing. He started a cyclocross series there a few years ago. It is growing! Not too far from Japan, eh? See here — http://cyclosportschina.com/?p=392 — for series information.

Melbourne is the best..flat, bike friendly roads, seaside breezes and miles and miles of Dentists with $6,000 bikes.

Hey Granny Ringer,

Interesting question about when would be the best time to hold a Cyclocross in AUS.. I’m an American living in Chiba, Japan and think that if you held it sometime during the late fall or early winter (Japan time) Nov/Dec/Jan then you might attract a lot of Japanese Bike Enthusisits. JAL (Japan Airlines) sponsers two big events in Hawaii every year, a running marathon and also a century ride and every year it’s absolutly packed with Japanese athelets. I think with the right type of promotion and maybe consider a road race rather then a cross race you might have a pretty good draw… Throw in my race registration free and I’ll promise that I come!

Sometime in the next few years I’m considering a long tour in Australia… Maybe a Brisbane to Melbourne Route.. It’s been a long time dream of mine and it’s about time I make it come true.
