TALES: Vacation, morning rides & the World Cup
Well, thanks to staying up late watching the World Cup I've overslept three morning group rides in the past five days -- fortunately, only one of them was one I set up! Nonetheless, the riding's never been better (or drier) for a guy on vacation for a week, and the spiders are still small enough to swallow whole without missing a beat. It was a great exploration ride, with a small detour down The Mother of All Downhills, today followed by an unintentional tour of some well-marked tombs in Yomitan with a beuatiful view of Maeda Point, a popular local dive spot.

Tom led the group ride this morning with a few new folks coming out. Its always good to get some fresh legs on the trails. While already nursing a broken finger from a ride last week, Tom decided today that he wanted the entire hand broken -- unfortunately, he got the other hand instead! I'm considering sending him one of those "Drink Milk" posters to look at while he nurses himself back to health.
