Dirt Training

We joined up with Toshio-san and Mr Yasuhara last Wednesday for a bit of off road riding around some local "hidden" Nara trails...

Important pre-ride checks.

It started off quite gently as we headed out along the Nara Cycle Road...

A "gentle" pace,

And then, very quickly, we were in the dirt....

Rest stop 1.

Toshio's award winning Fuji Feather.

A few rest stops/location checks were needed...

Location check.

We took in some beautiful rural Nara scenery...

The middle of nowhere.

Rest stop 2.

Where's your head at?!

"We are here".

Yasuhara-san was flying through the difficult course...

Flying!

Location check 2.

Toshio, in the distance.

A really fun and happily tiring day. Big thanks to Toshio-san and Yasuhara for his exceptional navigational skills.
