Carbon just came back from long business trip to Germany!!
And it was his idea to go mountain biking this weekend!!
BUT....He had to work on Saturday and couldn't make it....
Poor Carbon...let's go next time...

It was one of the coldest day of the year...
Heavy storm in northern part of Japan....
It was very cold, but sunny day in Pacific side if Japan!!
So, Bendo and Bendo's friend 2tall and I decided to go Hitachi for 1st ride of 2004!!

It was warmer than we thought and trail was dry!!
We all enjoyed and satisfied the first ride of the year!!

Is it already a MTB season!?
