Akkun got a 2003 Specialized Epic S-Works with full XTR parts!!
So, we decided to go to Hitachi for his debut ride!!
Unfortunetely it was raining.......
I thought regular mountain course could be too hard for Akkun...
I chose "Hitachi Ota MTB Couese" for his debut ride!!
I was not expecting this course is much fun....
BUT it was fun!! even in the rain!!
Akkun crashed so many times
and he messed the chain, so he had to cut and re-connect it!!
Oh we enjoyed the ride and we all get very dirty!!
Akkun's new shiny Epic also got dirty!!
We would liken to come back when it is dry!!
After the ride we stayed at Japanese style hotel at Oarai for"Ankou-Nabe"!!
Oh it was a great day!!
Oh!! Shiny bike!!
Akkun and his new 2003 Specialized Epic S-Works!!
Check out the Specialized's new rear suspension system!!
Hey!! Akkun!! YOU MUST QUIT SMOKING!!
At the Trail Head!!(in rain)
(Carbon, Bacon, Shinny, Akkun, Hacci, Phreddie)
We all got numbers!!
Phreddie was #1 !!
Carbon is comming down the slippery steep hill!!
Are you okay?? Akkun??
Carbon was very dirty!!
Oh No!! My lovely bike is so dirty, too!!
