Summer moment

My friend gave me his JS industries surfboard. Wow! Recent surfboard was extremely good to ride the waves! I didn't know that.

I've finally completed my dad's bike's restore. I disassembled this bike about two years ago. Past entry.
I decided to complete it in this summer vacation and made it! Self assembling needed more care but I had the great satisfaction.

Crank:SuntourXCD
Derailleur:Deore
Wheel:SuntourXCD(front)Tiagra(rear)

And my friend's bike was completed. Past entry 2.
This color was so beautiful. He will change this bike to city-commuter.

Restore my dad's MTB

I'm waiting the rear derailleur and the thumb shifter. I can hardly wait to ride this bike in the mountain and the city.

Today's ride(East area of Toyota city)

This route has good climbs and downhills, no signals. It was pretty hard, but this route was worthwhile riding. Thanks for your attend, my captain!

Today's ride (Otaga mountain pass)

We started from here; Otaki valley parking.
Otaga pass(大多賀峠)looks like hill climber's Mecca in Aichi. Many riders tried to get their new record. This pass got to me. I have to try again!

Mountain pass at Mt Norikura

We climbed Mt Norikura by bicycle. The first hill killed us!
Every time I think this route is great. 
Tatamidaira(the highest bus terminal) was overwhelmed with climber and sightseer.
After blissful downhill, we had a Ramen lunch at Kikyoya in Takayama city. This restaurant's Ramen was simple but tasteful. I had another favorite Ramen spot in Takayama! Yay!

Mt komagadake

It's been a while since I climbed the mountain more than 2,500m.
 In the morning, it was so good weather. 
But the clouds were gathering us gradually.
And finally a top of mountain was completely cloudy. The weather on the mountain is variable, like someone's mind.

Assembling my old MTB ②

I bought the MTB components. I think that Shimano's DEORE is not only reasonable but also reliable. 
This handle bar is "Get around bar" by Sim-works. Maybe it will be a comfortable bar for me. I am looking forward to riding this bike, but this may take a while to assemble.

Up and down, up and down, slow fast, slow fast...

With waves

I purchased this tie clip via J.crew's web shop. You can look the etched waves. I'll put effort into not only surfing but also business.

Which color will he choose?

I helped friend to disassemble his bike, because he would change his  bike's color.
He said "I'd like to change from Orange to Navy." But he was still wavering.

My good news

I broke my knee by running half a year ago and refrained from riding bike and running. But maybe my knee was recovering, so I went to climb Mt Ibuki. I had good climbing without knee's trouble. It was my good news!

The biggest thing

I started surfing(short-boarding) when I was in college, 1996. Surfing is very difficult, but it makes me feel so good. And the biggest thing for me, it still brings me new friends! Today was small condition, but I enjoyed with new friends.

Assembling my old MTB ①

At first, I built the rear wheel with a new hub.
And the new paint by Kyutai paint was completed, so I pressed in the head set. Um that's it. I was done for a day!

Relax surfing

I went ride the long-board. I started long-boarding about ten years ago. But I'm not very good at it. Just for fun! 
Today's lunch at Terasawa.(てらさわ) It's a good place to eat, like grilled chicken, poke and so on.

Cloudy day surf

Yesterday was a cloudy day but we had fun waves. The rainy season has started in Japan.
