Bamboo forest

There is a clear ridge line between our Yano town and Kaita town. By some maps, there is a road which cross the ridge line. I thought to climb over the ridge line. And decided to do it today.
After I enter the forest, the road disappeared. At first, I tried to go bamboo's bush. But, I abandoned soon. The reasons were that the surface of ground was very wet, many mosquito attacked me, red mark of road was deleted, and the slope to be hard. Perhaps, nobody walked there for a long while.
GPS showed that I could't reach to one third of distance to ridge line. I'll try to reach the line from another route someday.

Good gear change

After I changed wires of rear derailleur and front brake, they moved well. I hadn't expected such a development. The wires were very important parts.

Talk with many climbers

During I had a rest on the top of Mt. Ege, many old climbers appeared there by spells. I talked with them and I stayed there for about an hour. Taking with old in mountain was not bad.

Locust ?

Near the top of Mt. Ege, I found small insects on the leaf. Perhaps, they were locust, because they had a long rear feet.
It was not dark night. But, the background of the photograph had been black. It may be because of flash and macro.

Mt. Fukunaga in the bush

Mt. Fukunaga was there at the under side of Mt. Ege. The road to the peak was covered by bushes and deadwood. And the footmark was deleted. It was said to hard road on the signboard.
So, I sometimes had tried to climb there and abandoned.
But, I reached there at last !!!
GPS map of smart phone was very useful. If I didn't bring it, I couldn't find the peak.
When GPS mark reached the peak on web map, I could find old concrete base under the leaves. After I delete the leaves, I could find the mark for measure the geography.
There was no signboard which showed there the top of mountain. But, I satisfied well.

Gear shift wire

I changed rear gear shift wire. As the wire cover destroyed, I decided to change wires. Rear gear shift wire was more complicated than brakes one. So, It spend longer time.
I thought it moved smoothly than before.
I expect to enjoy commuting in this evening. I'll change wires for frond shift's one and rear brake's one tomorrow.

Brake wire

I changed front brake wire today. It was very easy job. I thought the brake moved smoothly than before.
