Link o' rama

Slowly recovering from whatever bug is going around. Several extended family and friends went down as well. It left me some time to surf though. Matt on the Kogswell list asked if I'd post a few of the Japanese bike websites I have bookmarked. These are individuals or club sites, not retail sites or manufacturers, and I look for things like touring reports and passhunting with lots of pretty pictures, but since I formatted the list, I thought I'd post it here too.

Sites I check pretty much weekly:
Mr Haro -MTB Around Hamamatsu Japan
Mr Akuta
Nawa, Mr Rudo
Mr.GAMI
High Ground Net Lots of great photos.
Mr. Hiro
m-shima
Yanchari

ted air-nifty BLOG
Ayako's Wai Wai Room vol.3

Camepota.net

Other sites I've found but don't visit often becuase the aren't updated as much or are hard to navigate through if you don't speak japanese:

Takasu - lots of photos, check out the gear list.
dai.banbi.net/infodai.html Link to japanese 650B forum at the 'New' Sometimes has photos.
