Makiko gives you a tour of Paris and Sado Island blindfolded! Actually, she flicks through her iPhone photo album trying to remember what she did on two different trips, and I coax her to get as much information about her trips as possible.

If you're talking to me on Skype, assume you are being recorded. NFTOS is the Watergate of podcasts and I am Richard M. Nixon. Of course, I give paticipants the option to opt out in part or in whole. In this episode, Hans and I talked about some non-racing stuff, including a few things I assumed he wouldn't want to share which got censored. The next episode has already been recorded and will be uploaded late, better than never. Photo: Rob running down Mt Fuji in late summer, over the fine lava of the "Suna-bashiri" / Gotemba Track.

We're already well into the Vuelta, but with Hans moving a time zone earlier and me going on vacation, well, circumstances have not allowed for us to combine for a show. This one was an ill-prepared now or never kinda thing. Here it is for what it's worth. Photo by Andrew. Posted by Rob. Tags: NFTOS, Bicicleteiros, Vuelta a España, Worlds |
