Bike Festival in Utsunomiya




We had a bike festival today and yesterday.
They arranged a bike road race or Criterium race, an imported bike exhibition, bike parts shops, a live concert, street performers, … you name it.
Weather was not perfect, but I enjoyed them as one of bike fans.

2010 Japan Cup Cycle Road Race in Utsunomiya

The Japan Cup, a road cycling event which has been held every October since 1992, was held in Utsunomiya city on October 23 this year.
My wife and I went to downtown Utsunomiya to watch the 35 kilometer long Criterium race for the first time.
I go to my office by bicycle everyday. It takes me about half an hour in the morning and another half an hour at night. I think I know “riding a bike” better than anyone around me in my office. But the road race was quite different from what I had thought before.

I’ve never seen such men who run that fast in front of me. It was very exciting event. They ran so fast that I missed chances of perfect photo shots many times.

I’ll take better shots next year!
