I woke up on the 4th covered in frost and giddy with anticipation. The day 5 months in the planning had arrived.
What followed was a thouroughly pleasant admixture of shop folks, mojos, trail and weather. Despite some stresses of logistics, the day was perfect. The light did suck though, so photos suffer somewhat.
Mitsu-San, who has gone back to Osaka. I shall miss him. Mitsu cranked out the whole damn ride, broken rib and all. I wonder about what part of this will stay with him, what pieces of this will make their way into his outlook.

Here's Rob busting out of treeline, perhaps one of the best feelings in the world.
