This is a three day weekend...

So I decided to go only on Saturday...
Oh No...Working in office is not my best job...

We couldn't wake up so early..so we left Tokyo at 8:00..
I knew there would be a heavy traffic...
Yes...It took us more than a hour to get to Hachioji
where we supposed to meet ZZ!!
(Sorry ZZ-san..He had 5 coffee while waiting for us)

At the parking lot...the problem came up..
"Shuttle or Not to Shuttle..."
It's a 24km of paved climb...elevation difference is 1000m!!
As Carbon said...
We always choose the long way!!
Oaky..Let's go!!!

Too bad the Udon place was closed...
But we finished with no injury and we were all happy!!

It was cold but it a was nice ride with accoplishment feelings!!
