    Read excerpt

    This episode of the Cycling Hokkaido podcast brings you the story of how The POW BAR came to be. My guest, Norris Scott, is the co-owner of this Niseko-based company, and it's a great story about how his wife started the company and where they're at with it all today. This episode was recorded while Norris and I were in Furano at Brad Bennett's Freewheeling Cycling Festival. The rides that weekend were fueled by POW BAR and folks, they are excellent for powering you up and over hills and long di

    This past weekend I was lucky enough to meet Denise and Riley at the Furano Freewheeling Cycling Festival.

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    3 years, 156 episodes and a whole lotta kilometers! This week is a little different. I don't have a big ride or adventure to share so I'm taking a moment to say 'thank you' to everyone who has listened, followed along, shared an episode, sent a message, or simply joined me for a ride from wherever you are in the world. I also talk about my recent colonoscopy and endoscopy, what the results showed, and why I'm encouraging everyone to stay on top of their health and get those checks done. Sometime

    Ep.155 Heat, Hills, Shooting Stars & Shakotan (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Shakotan is one of Hokkaido's most beautiful places to ride, and this Obon we got our annual ride to Kamui Misaki done. Rather than tackling the 200+ km mission in a single day, this year we decided to break it into two. Day 1 took us along the spectacular Shakotan coastline to Kamui Misaki before we headed to Bikuni Kodamari Campsite for the night. The riding was absolutely gorgeous, but there was one major challenge, 31°C heat! That kind of temperature brings its own set of challenges when you

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    In this episode of the show, I talk about the beginning of the summer festival season here in Hokkaido, including the lively Otaru Ushio Festival. I also share my recent bike trip to Yoichi, where I spent a night wild camping on Fugoppe Beach. It was a beautiful evening by the sea, and I stayed there because I wanted to explore some of the Rita Taketsuru sites around Yoichi the next day. Some of those sites , including the gravesite of Rita and her husband Masataka Taketsuru, were quieter and mo
