Mountain Biking with Dan!





So I’m back on a Mountain bike after a good number of years just riding a bike to work and back. Hakuba has quite a few really good trails but they can be tricky to find as I found out.
I got some beta on the Minagata Downhill course so we tried to head up and hit the course.
The key word is tried!

Dan was in fine form and loving being back on a back again. Last summer He rode coast to coast in Canada and since that ride he just didn’t feel like biking. Dan being Dan though he was back in form within 2 minutes.

Dan was so far ahead at one point I screamed at him to stop. We then proceeded to climb 2 private mountains, meet one lady with the worst breathe I have ever encountered and still have a ball.

We found quite a few cool easy fire road climbs and easy Down hills. Not exactly what we want to ride but heck it was fun.

Fact though my Downhill ride climbs like a pig!
