Just did Yamabushi to Hanno. It was as wet as it could have been but I do like that trip to the station.
As usual I'm working on Saturday so enjoy it without me.

I've slept through my alarm so there's no way I'm going to make it to the Spaceship by 8. Others are now meeting at
I've slept right through my alarm so won't be at the Spaceship by 8. Will catch you up on the way up to the Family Mart.
As Andy won't be at the spaceship, we are going to meet a little further up the river at 8:10

In the end even dazzy.p and myself didn't make it to the mountains. dazzy's front derailleur was shagged and would only move into the small ring with extreme physical force directly on the derailleur. We turned back about 6 km from the Family Mart.
I had never intended to finish it, but I hadn't started intending to even ride as far as I did. Left my arm covers at home and now have really sunburnt arms as a result. Dumb. And my power meter crapped out on the way home. May be the battery, although it didn't just stop which is the usual form for battery induced failure. Anyway did a master reset and will see what happens next time out.
