Wheatherman missed again!!
And all of my friends were busy!!
Shinny went fishing...Lee went Nagano...Achiwa was busy...
ZZ canceled at the night of leaving...because of wrong wheather forecast!!

I had nothing to do..So I went to Minakami where my second house is...

Next morning..It was cloudy and some showers but not too much!!
So I attacked Old Mikuni Pass alone!!
Trail was wet but there was no hikers.
I enjoyed solo ride !!

At the Mikuni Tunnel...
After 45min of hill climb!!

Carrying starts...
(At the trail head)

At the peak of Old Mikuni Pass

Nice single track run!!
Here is your question! How could I take a picture like this
when I was alone??
Invitations to my Minakami Resort for right answers!!

Downhill begins here!!
