I really like the hill climbs cos I get to feel the burn (cue lots of American-style whooping and high-fiving) and I imagine that passing drivers think that I look pretty damn cool stood-up on my pedals and wearing my shades.
I am still a bit of a woofter going downhill and ride the breaks too much but I am slowly getting more comfortable at it. I find that if I sing loudly, I can relax more. Today I sang the first part of a Pearl Jam song about 20 times over as I kept making mistakes with the lyrics, hitting wrong notes and mixing-up verses. Not cool.
On the other side of the mountains, Mount Fuji should be visible but today was a bit cloudy so it was not. I did see a squished rat on the road, though. Nex
t time I go out that way I want to... Well I will write about that after I have done it.Below is a
couple of crappy pics I took on my phone.
It wouldnt happen to have been "Alive"? I imagine hurtling down mountain roads to be a little on the dangerous side, and still being alive at the bottom is a pleasurable outcome :D
