My partner Eiji, some friends and me went to a cool party at the 52nd floor of the Roppongi hills Building, I thought I should represent my won shirt! Looks good right?

Freezing solo ride up to the 5th station

November 20th, 2008 | Category: ANDRE Private

When I saw the clear weather this morning I didn’t hesitate in getting my new bike out once more! I just love it!

I tried to convince a few guys in joining me but nobody was available so I was all by myself which was somehow good because i was able to do the ride up Mt fuji. So far, apart from Helmut, my trainer, nobody is fit enough to ride up there. 

It became a intense experience for me, my equipment was not hot enough, I wasn’t expecting it to be so cold up there! I was all fine up until 3/4 then suddenly my hands became really cold. I thought, hmmm… might become a tough session here… But I decided to fight and keep going, I knew it will be dangerous with the cold but as long as i keep pushing and its just my hand its fine. Eventually I made it up with freezing hands and body, I think it was -8…

On top I quickly got a hot noodle soup to warm up my body, thanks Good they had food! 

From that point It was impossible to ride down hill, would be to cold with the speed and it was getting dark to… So I tried my luck and asked a chinese tourist bus to take me down… Lucky they had room for me and saved me! I even felt like they were happy to have me on board. On the way out they all said a nice bye bye! I say thank you the chinese!!!

Start point Temperature: 14

Arrival point Temperature: -8

Average Temperature: -1

Ascent meters: 1440
