We put the Rigs (our Single Speed mountain bikes) into my Civic on Saturday morning, and drove for about 15 or 20 minutes, to a trail head in Nagaizumi. Though it's just down the road from us, we hadn't known about the trail. Which is also why we didn't know it wasn't ridable! So we hiked instead, and had a great morning (though in the future we will always carry hiking shoes in the car, as hiking in our biking shoes created some legendary blisters!).
Sweeet trail - don't you just lust to get your tires on that dirt?
Today (Sunday), we again drove the bikes in the Civic - this time up to Hakone. We saw a farmer/hunter, with boar pelts drying in front of his house. The owner was a pleasant enough man, and invited us up to see a full-grown wild boar caged behind his house.
We did a bit of riding, too - enough to be tired, but didn't manage to get too far as the hills were 15% grade, and sometimes a little less. Coming down was fun, though!
We stopped for a beer at the Gotemba Kogen Beer Hall, then got home, where Brian collapsed, shirtless, in the sun:
