Mountain Bikin' Mt. Kagenobu


Carrie and Akihiro took me to an AWESOME restaunt. The dishes were more like an art rather than food. There was spicy tomatoes (kimuchi), seasame tofu, fried oysters, and many other tasty things....including an extremely thin fish fried twice that was crispy like a potato chip! I ate the tail and everything!

So, we decided to go mountain biking! Nevermind the 1/2 hours bike ride just to get to the base of the mountain. I about died getting there because the last half was practically all uphill on a bike. But, once we started hiking I was ok......as long as I could keep traction on the slush! I pushed my bike up the entire mountain, but it was well worth it because coming down was SO FUN!

Here is a view from the top




Coming down was....scary and dangerous....which of course made it way more fun! By the end, my hands were cramping because I had to do the back brakes the entire way down and the front brake every so often. You have to be careful not to do the front brake by itself, or your bike will flip forward. Riding through slush was also difficult to control....and if you turned too much, the bike would slide completely over: hence, this picture!

We got very very dirty....YAY!

The evidence of a true mountain biking experience: a dirty bike

Then little Tomokun and Carrie came for supper.....he is so romantic:) Giving me kisses....he even tilts his head to the side and comes in real slow;)

Cutest picture EVER

This was the last night to hang out with just us girls :(.....I got a wasabi hamburger...whew my nostrils were burning, but it was tasty as usual!
