Izu Cycling

My new Bike Friday turned a week away into great training. I'm just finishing a week scuba diving with grade 10 on the Izu pennisula. It is a spectacular area with abundant marine life and amazing cycling. My daily morning ride was 53k past beaches and two mountains including Heikawa Pass and over 1000m vert gain. The downhills were equally engaging with sustained speeds in the high 60's and maxed at 72.5kph. These photos were both taken outside of Ito on the way up the 8k snake of a climb to Heikawa pass at about 6am. Great fall memories!

My First UFO sighting with a picture to prove it

OK for all the skeptics and myth busters out there here is a picture with real UFO sighting caught on film. Other than putting this image into the panarama maker I have not altered it any way. The UFO is flying over the mountain on the right side of the image. They tried to abduct me into space but using the knowledge I gained from the "Worst Case Scenario" books I resisted mentally and poked one of them in the eyes when it tried to grab me. Any bets on what this really was? Let's carry this discussion out on my blog www.freedomphilosophy.com. I'll post a higher res jpg. of the UFO. Hint -  It was an actual object.
