Another day another Minagata ride

Some nice Sake at Steve's house the night before led to another early morning ride. After fixing the bike the night before, then breaking it then fixing it again I went to bed. Woke up in the morning, had a cup of coffee and waited for Steve. Steve was a bit surprised to see the hard tail ready to go I think. Super glue, self tapping screws and a hacksaw is what the bike needed I told him.A stunning day really so glad to be out in the cool morning air. I had to take this shot I only wish that I had a better camera. Really thinking about a Nikon upgrade.
Although the bike was fixed the derailleur was not set right for the new chain. The chain kept slipping which was very annoying. Steve got up 60% fixed which allowed me to actually climb up the hill rather than walk. Thanks Steve, maybe one day ill buy a good bike. What a prefect day! Too bad we didn't have enough time to really enjoy the view.


My mug I love taking shots like this. You can just make out Goryu in the background.

Steve flying down the trail. Actually I didn't have the camera on sport mode but I like the color of the picture.

This one of my favorite sections on the ride. Once you drop in here the course is a scenic single track that is quite fast. It was a bit slick with morning dew but it was still very fun.
