Finally going back to Japan today (knocks on wood). My preflight PCR test came back negative, and after a ton of filling out online forms and submitting documents, I am finally (hopefully) on my way. It was nice to spend a month in Hawaii, I am not looking forward to Tokyo in August, which is hotter, more humid, and the sound of cicadas is deafening. I boxed up my bike with a free box from the Bike Factory near Ala Moana Park (thanks guys), and will play with it when I get home. I haven’t done any mountain biking since the Spin Doctors were on the top of the charts, so I am looking forward to taking my new-old MTB around Japan.
