Here is the start of the course where the KING OF DIRT will be
decided. The canyon jump is where we will have the best jumpers
show their stuff!! My goal is to be able to make it over it by the
end of the summer, lol!!!
Kouji keeps a watchful eye over Hasegawa San’s tractor
skills........

THE WATANABE CHERRY TREE!!!! We have our very own tree in the
backyard. Tried to have a hanami party this weekend but the weather
was crazy.....so we moved it indoors, thanks to all who came out!!
Happy Hamami!!!
So this is what the white sign looks like from a distance, we used
to be able to see it from our window at the old Matsumoto
house....
and this is what it looks like up close. It took me an hour to ride
up today, a bit longer than usual but nevertheless it felt great
and then I could look out at this view......
It was a great day and a good training ride. Sometimes I am lucky
enough to get a long enough break from work to hop on my bike and
get a ride and onsen in....before the next class. Lucky me....
