Shimano “Suzuka” Road

This was a two hour bike endurance race that Atsushi, Masaru, Hirohito and myself participated in on Saturday. Held at Suzuka Circuit, it was interesting seeing so many race bikes in such a small space.

Our team came 55th out of 79 teams (there was meant to be 87 teams but 8 didn’t show). Out of our team, I somehow managed to beat Atsushi’s laptime. While he did a 12 point something and a 13 minute lap/s, I did a 12 and a 12 point something. The winner (a solo rider) managed 14 laps, whereas we only managed 9. Our team was one minute away from starting a 10th lap when the two hours were up. I reckon if we start near the front of the pack (we started right at the back, +1 min), and had a few adjustments to the bike, the team can do 10 laps next year :)
