Out with the
Guell crew yesterday for what was meant to be a "gentle" and "short" 10km night ride across Nara to Tomio to visit
Cafe Junk...
..And it was just that, gentle, rolling through the
Heijo Palace, speeding around Saidaiji...
 |
| A brief rest at a train crossing... |
But then
Toshio-san had a little surprise for us, as he is training for the
Suzuka Enduro we were going to take the high road, because from there on in the journey was filled with some quite serious climbs...
 |
| Up, up, and away! |
A lot of grinding of gears, swearing and sweating before we finally made it to our destination....
Suitably rested and refueled, we prepared for the journey back to Nara...
Thankfully the ride back was what we would call gentle...
No killer climbs, no grinding gears and no swearing....
...Just a nice, relaxed ride back to Nara...
We were back in Saidaiji before we knew it...
A fun, if somewhat exhausting night! Arigato to Toshio-san and the whole
Guell crew.

| Chillin' back at Guell. |
And just because we love this bike so much, a photo of Yamamoto-san's seriously cool
Kuwahara...
