Got up bright and early and pulled my trusty Mu P8 out. It looked possibly like rain however the weather held and the clouds and cool were greatly appreciated.

I had big aspirations for pedaling about 30 or 40 km out and coming back and I was doing a fine job of it and next thing i know I'm headed back into the same town I left from. I'm not sure how I pulled a circle but I sure did. I was fairly convinced I was still headed away but screwed the pooch somehow or another.

No sweat. I rode up and down and around the local area, stayed in the saddle about 3 hours and had a great relaxing ride. Photos are from around Kintai Bridge area in Iwakuni Japan.

I call the pic with the Charcoal Gas truck, "We've Come A Long Way Baby"

I call the first one "Indiana John and The Temple of Dahon"



Second pic has nothing to do with bikes other than the fact I was standing on my bike when I took it but it's the shot of the day.

Nope. Getting caught with a bike on that bridge would get you time in the pokey around here. On the humps the wood is all stepped.

You wouldn't want to ride a bike on that thing anyway.
