Added 2025-04-12 13:18:26 +0000 UTC

Hey guys,
Hope you're having a fine weekend!

I'm currently holed up in a rural Hokkaido hotel room that looks like it's been transported from the 1960's, with barely less than 12 hours to go before Connor and I begin our epic Cyclethon from Hokkaido all the way to Tokyo!

It's our biggest cycle yet and honestly I worry we've not done as good a job promoting it as we did last year - hopefully tonight's Abroad in Japan video will be a decent way of reminding folks if anything.

Both Connor and I have been in Japan many years now, and we sat down to discuss the 12 things that have driven us mad over the years! It's almost like a Podcast of sorts, but it was a fun video / discussion and dare I say, hopefully inisghtful.

The weather is looking pretty good for tomorrow albeit rather damn cold, but super excited to hit the road. I'd be lying if I said I felt prepared, but I can't recall a single cycle where I have in all honesty, haha.

I need to get myself to bed right now, but I'll be posting updates here on Patreon throughout the journey and over on Instagram (seems like the easiest place to share photos/videos).

Hope to see you on stream tomorrow!
Kick off is 9am on Connor's Twitch. Wish us luck!

P.S. Stuffed full of sushi right now too. East Hokkaido has the best tuna in Japan, my god!
