after the incomplete combustion...

we had to come here to report the result of the land speed racing to the great mountains. "come here more often and develop mental fortitude!" they said :)

ささ、レースの結果報告と懺悔をしに山へ。もっと山で精神を鍛えなくてはなりませんな。

stopped at the view point where we usually pass through.

いつもは通り過ぎてしまう所で止まってみた。
 

shinya found a narrow path like an animal trail down a cliff.

下に降りていくけもの道を見つけた木村氏。
 

somehow we decided to go down...

なぜか降りてみることに。
 

it was steeper than we thought but we made it! beautiful riffle of the dam lake.

見た目以上に急な崖だったけど、なんとか下までたどり着く。ダム湖のさざ波は穏やか。

then, we had to climb back the steep cliff before it gets dark.

暗くなる前にこの急な崖を登って戻らなくちゃ。何で降りちゃったんだろう？

our knees and thighs started to wobble and finally our motorcycles appeared in front of us!

もう足がガクガクしてきて気が遠くなりそうになってきた頃、我々のオートバイの一部が見えてきた！

filled with a feeling of accomplishment. you can tell by this how frustrated we were on the dry lake yesterday that we had to burn our excess energy somewhere somehow :D and i had to kick start my SR with my wobbling leg after this :<
 

普段なら絶対にこんな崖降りたり登ったりしないはずの木村氏、昨日どれだけ不完全燃焼だったのかが分かる、この達・成・感に満ちた表情。プププ この後足がガクガクにも関わらずキックしなくては帰れないという筆者の苦悩。プププ
