Konichiwa biaches LOL. Well its been an interesting couple of weeks as I have made the move to Japan, to a place called Hakuba which is famous for its mountains, snow and Soba noodles. There was no snow the 1st few days but we have been getting smashed and have had some crazy pow days. For those that dont ski or snowboard its powder snow that so many of us love and as I type its puking down.



To say we have had some snow is a bit of an understatement. Having only visited before I haven't had to shovel but its a great warm up in the mornings having to dog the cars out. Earlier in the week we got nearly 80cm in a 24 hour period with nearly 30 of that over 3 hours.



The scenery here is stunning no doubt and one of the key reasons I have moved here.





For my mind the bike riding will have to wait until at least April but that doesnt stop the posties. Crazy stuff.



On Saturday its the opening day of the bar I bought. Im a little excited and a little nervous. If anyone is coming to Hakuba please come look me up. The bar's name is Tanukis and its located down by the railway station.







Well that's it for now. Hope you are all well and take it easy.

Have fun.Why did you move and how come this is in the Anger Management section.Your not angry at moving.

Sorry guys - quick update. After 5 months living In Japan I've come home to sell up/pack up and move over permanently. Loving it over there and no work for me here. The bar is going OK and we have a few plans for another art gallery/tapas bar so will be plenty busy. Shipping all my bike gear over too and hope to have a bike sooner rather than later. Happy to keep updating this thread when that happens.

If anyone is headed to Hakuba please reach out and I'll do every thing I can help. Best way to reach me is then link below for the bar.

Just want to reach out and thank all those that rode with me from TRA, especially all the times you had to wait for me or laugh at me when I crashed. Thanks again everyone, the friendship laughs and riding was really appreciated.

Good luck with it mate
