Mt Fuji
Big day out.
Bike: (253km), Time: 10:05, av hr 120bpm.
This is definitely the longest ride I have ever done. The highlight was seeing Mt Fuji snow capped and also doing a 45.3km climb up to the base of MT Fuji.
Stats on the climb were
Distance: 45.39k, av sp 19.9km, av hr 126bpm, time: 2:27 and one mother of a headwind.
By the time we arrived to the base of Fuji our av sp was only 21.9kph. We were pretty much riding into a strong headwind and climbing up for around 6.5hrs. We arrived atthe 1/2 way point at around 1:30pm. We were all pretty tired and ravenous. After scoofing down copious amounts of food we continued on with a return trip home. The decent which was different to the way we came up was incredible. I pretty much rode downhill for 1hr and 40min. It was awseome following this valley all the way down. The scenery was just incredible.
The trip home only took just under 4 hrs. This would have to be one of the best training sessions I have ever done.

Looks great, but you are one mad bugger Paul, you and your riding mates need to find a easier sport like fishing - Jay
