About Thorong

Born in 1968. Based in Asuka Village, Nara, Japan. Hooked on computers and bicycles since my student days.I landed my dream job as a programmer — only to discover it was manual labor for the brain. So in my mid-twenties, I quit and set off. Lhasa to Kathmandu, the Annapurna Circuit, a crossing of the Alps, the Atlas Mountains, a traverse of Patagonia — I've been riding the world's mountain ranges ever since.
Former postmaster of Asuka Village. Now a self-employed IT engineer and father of three. After rehabilitating my knee, the next goal: the trails of New Zealand.
Doing what I can, while I still can.
