Oh No!! I drunk too much the night before again!!
I made this mistake so many times but I cannot learn!!
Everytime I ride with hungover....I experienced a hell....
Today was no exception....

And...It was HOT!!
It was a cloudy day and it shouldn't be so hot.
BUT It was felt like over 30c with 200% humidity!!
Trail was covered with bushes and weeds!!
Today,Hitachi was in tropical climate.....

No sleep, high temparature, high humidity and hangovaer...
BUT Hitachi singletrack took away all the difficulties
and brought me adrenarines!!
Oh!! It was a great ride after all!!

Lee did it again!!
Lee had a SPD problem and couldn't take off his shoe from the pedal!!

Trail head was covered with bushes!!
