Climbing out of the fog

It was cold this morning! Honestly about 5 degrees this day wow! The cloud level was at 850 meters so Hakuba was right in the clouds. Because we were in the clouds it felt really wet. After climbing 100 or more meters we broke through the clouds and it started to feel a bit warmer.
The sun poking through the trees below made for a good shot. The best model in the world Steve makes the picture look so much better.


After we got to the top we saw the view into town. The town was covered in clouds and the ski was bright blue and perfect. Almost like heaven up there today .
Steve above and me below trying to look like a serious biker.Hakuba Yari and Shakushi mountains, I have skied the triangle shaped Yari but not Shakushi yet. Have to get my friends Damion and Jer to attack Shakushi.

Me on my last ride with the hard tail. We had a short life together but it is filled with great memories that got me hooked on biking again. The red rock now passes onto Ben "oyuki" may it bring you nothing but stoke and pleasure Ben San.
Got the banker boys to do the Goryu course, might have been a bit hard for them as it was their first and second mountain bike rides. They did fine actually.

All in all a great start to the weekend.
