Just updated the Pyrenees post with some more on-bike footage.

Happy Anniversary with WordPress.com
Just had a notification on this blog:
“You registered on WordPress.com 6 years ago!
“Thanks for flying with us. Keep up the good blogging!”
I have to say in this time WordPress have continued to update their blogging platform with new features making it so easy to keep your sites up to date. Long may it continue.
Having had a presence online since the early 90s on various platforms, forums and message boards before running my own web business from 1998, I’ve been filling the search engines ever since!
Skydiving
Well that’s another one off The List: skydiving…
I can’t recommend Skydive London enough!
Next? Well the Harley to Sturgis is already booked so I suppose it’s bungee jumping into one of those massive canyons…
Mazda RX-8 Videos
I’ve been watching a few videos on YouTube:
Free Hugs
I’m a great believer in smiling, saying “please” and “thank you” and just generally being ‘nice’ to people who are usually expecting the same old shit, just a different day. A little bit of charity every so often doesn’t go amiss either.
A friend just posted this YouTube video on their blog »
Look how people start off by ignoring the guy offering free hugs. Then when someone breaks the usual barriers and goes for it, it seems to break the log-jam until everyone’s doing it and there’s some happiness being spread around. If only real life could be like this more often…
New Honda TV Ad: Problem Playground
Courtesy of Creative Review Blog, comes a link to the new Honda ad which I reckon is pretty interesting and captures the attention. And unlike CR Blog, I don’t find the voiceover patronising.
Oh dear…
I can only assume those were new tyres.
Japanese Wave Pool
Now I don’t know about you, but I like a bit of space to myself which is why I’d probably cope badly living in a more densely populated area and in particular somewhere like Tokyo.
So as you can imagine I’m not looking forward to travelling this weekend as it’s a Bank Holiday, but at least it’s nowhere as hatstand as Tokyo:
“It’s summertime here in Tokyo, and since we’re in the middle of the Obon holiday week a lot of Tokyoites have left town for the countryside, leaving a strangely empty city behind. Those who stick around or come in from the countryside pack just about every tourist spot to the gills. We went to the Tokyo Summerland today to catch some sun, and could barely move!
This is what he’s talking about:
Mountain Bike Downhill Course
So around here, we have the odd skatepark and a little biddy BMX/MTB track.
Not much like this, then:
