I stumble upon these 2 videos recently. First is by Mara Yamauchi, a marathon runner. She's giving interesting food advices for people doing endurance sports in Japan. Not sure I could eat 6 mochi as she says she does/did before a race though!Second video is a really cool use of a Go Pro Camera to promote Triathlon.

I visited the shop few weeks ago, I used to work really close to it but not any more so it has been a while since my last visit. I thought you might like to see what there is in this incredible shop. There's always some awesome things to see and buy, especially if you are into NJS stuff. I was looking for Italian frames on a reader request, there was 2 of them, beautiful and BIG prices :-) Obviously it's cheaper in Europe.Brake Lever, in-house customized.Outside, pista waiting for maintenance wo...
