Post 7: October 9 Picking back up on Thursday afternoon - we loaded our bikes on the train in Fujiyoshida and headed back to Tokyo, arriving in the extremely busy Shinjuku station where we re-assembled the bikes and rode away. Made a quick stop at THIS Brewing followed by dinner, then called it a n...

Post 6: October 6 Playing a bit of catch up from Wednesday night and yesterday. After our rainy ride into Fujiyoshida, we wandered around town and had dinner at a super traditional Izakaya recommended by our host. Ate more fried chicken and fries that were delicious. The next morning, the skies had...

Post 5: October 4 Our second day in the mountains greeted us with nonstop rain, colder than expected temperatures and our anticipated views of Mt. Fuji being hidden by clouds. Luckily, we made the most of the day by making a number of stops to warm up whenever we had the chance. Our FOERST break ca...

Post 4: October 3 Woke up around 5am and wandered down to Hakone for a scenic train ride up the mountain. Ate some breakfast on the train, came back to our hostel, then Chanel and I headed off for a short (but steep) ride up the mountain for our afternoon non-biking activity. After riding up the mo...

Post 3: October 2 Started the morning with a 5am beach stroll, walked a few miles around Kamakura exploring shrines and temples, saw a sweet S14 and then had another exciting convenience store breakfast before starting the day’s ride. Hopped on the bikes for another 40 miles that included a tour of...

Post 2: October 2 A day late, but quick recap from yesterday’s 44 mile adventure - Started the morning in Tokyo, the gang had fancy coffee and I ate more convenience store snacks. Hit up a super crowded ramen museum and then wandered through Yokohama and eventually into Kamakura. Finished the night...

Post 1: September 30 Landed in Tokyo yesterday after a 14 hour flight where we kicked off the start of our 2 week bike packing adventure. Built our bikes outside of the airport, stowed our bags at an airport storage facility and rode an easy 15 miles to a hostel in Asakusa. Got to try my FOERST ven...

So I've been back from Japan for about a month and I'm finally getting around to editing/posting some of the photos from the trip. For anyone that follows me on Facebook/Instagram, I already posted a lot of these (along with the writeups) but I figured I'd repeat some of my daily blog-style posts he...

Ok, we went ahead and booked karts for Sunday, Nov. 12! We did 3 sessions at 3:10 pm (that had 20 available when we got them, prob down a few now but should still be plenty).

Ahhh man, so glad you're getting just as much enjoyment out of looking through them, it's been absolutely amazing looking back through everything! Also super glad so many of us have carried cameras around for so long, haha (and side note, pretty sure some of these shots from the last few years were ...

Just got around to adding a couple more years (2010-2011) - https://codywellons.wpengine.com/old-photos/

Ok, starting to try and plan for the 2nd round of this. AMP has a lot of availability on Sunday, Nov. 12 if anyone is around that day (and I also got word from my friend with the cabin that we can use it that entire weekend). Saturday also has a few slots but not nearly as many, and I chatted with A...
