Wicknasty Goes to Japan, Round Two

Posted on 02/02/2012 by wicks

Last time I went to Japan to race cyclocross, Brian Vernor made a really cool movie about it. It was called The Cyclocross Meeting. Now its time for a repeat performance. I leave next Wednesday for a whirlwind trip into the heart of Tokyo to race the Cyclocross Tokyo. From what I can tell, it is going to be right on the Tokyo Harbor, which means lots of sand, and lots of awesome. Check back here sometime after the 13th for a full write up of the experience as I try to make it 2/3 for wins in Japan.
