Sunday Rider

Brian and I went for a little singlespeed ride around our neighborhood today. We pretty much stayed on the road, because the weather wasn't very good (it had been raining for 24 hours - the trails were soaked), but it was a fantastic ride, and a good workout.

We stopped by a tiny mountain shrine, where I had gone alone a couple of weeks ago, and took some pictures of our bikes. Because it was overcast, we got some good pictures with no shadows.

At the end of a scenic country road, if you turn left and go off-road, then peer through the woods, you can see these poor caged boar (called inoshishi in Japanese). These animals roam wild around here, and while we've only seen wild boars (free ones) a couple of times from the car, we frequently see evidence of their digging on the trails!
