About time we had a little local flavour round here. An early start yesterday morning, joining up with F-i-N with the original idea being to head to Kyoto for the Achieve Ride. Shitty unreliable weather forecasts scuppered that plan so instead we headed south from Nara city on one of F-i-N's famous "shall we just do a loop?" discovery rides...
Say what you like about F-i-N (and many people do!) he knows the backroads of Nara very, very well...
Past the factory where all of the world's skaters are made...
A chance discovery of an American car garage/graveyard was worth a shot..
Or two...
Maybe three...
Further south and with the temperature and humidity becoming unbearable (it was still only 9am and 30C+) we took shelter and shade in a local shrine...
A bit of bike shooting...
And then back out into the heat...
Past the space station...
And the essential K-Coffee stop...
As always, thanks to the man, the legend F-i-N.
