It was cold today.

雪が降るかもしれないとのことだったが、良い天気。
前日にメールをいただいたYさんと久しぶりにMトレイルへ。
5月に舗装工事の案内が出ていたが、思っていたほど舗装はされていなかった。

[英語を勉強中なのでこれからなるべく英語も併記して書いてみます。間違いは後日訂正するかも?]

The weather forecast said that there was a slight chance of snow today, but it was fine.
Mr. "Y" emailed me to go mountain biking together yesterday and I went to the trail that we called "M" this morning. There was an announcement that the trail would be paved with asphalt this past May, but it was paved a part of the area, so almost all parts of the trail is nothing changed.

登り途中の休憩ポイント




雪は降らなかったが寒い。普段ここは登りがきついので少々寒くても汗をかくくらいで、実際心拍計は190越えたのに寒い。山頂付近では -0.2℃ (Yさん計測)、しかし北風が強く体感気温はもっと低いと思う・・・。

It was not snow,  but it was really cold. Usually I sweat at the part of climbing and I don't feel it cold so much. But today I felt very cold even though my Garmin heart rate monitor indicated over 190. Mr. Y had a thermometer that indicated -0.2 ℃ at the top of the mountain, but it was windy day, so we felt the degrees below -0.2.

降霜

とりあえず山頂で早々に下りの準備をするが、相変わらず手間取る。
今回は8月に購入した 661 Pro Knee/Shin guard を初めて使用。

We quickly prepared to go downhill, but I took time to put on my new 661 pro knee shin guard which I bought  this past August.

山頂で2台並べる

ここから下り

先日久しぶりに走ったこともあり今日は前回よりだいぶマシになった。
登り返しも多いこのトレイルだが新しいニーシンガードはVery good.

I did mountain biking last Friday, so it was considerably better than that day today.
The new knee shin guard is very good for this trail like up and down repeatedly.


いつものパターンで2本目へ行く。ここはまだ少し暖かい。
山頂へ向かう道でトラックが3台止まっていた。猟師さんと思われる。間違われないように気をつけるべし。一応Bear Bellをつけているが熊よけというより猟師さん対策に近い。

We went the second trail as our usual pattern.  There was still a little warm. Three trucks parked on the middle of the way to the top of the mountain. We thought they must be hunters. We went on the way carefully because if they recognized us as animals, they would shoot us maybe... .I put the bear bell on my bike, but it's not only against bears, but against hunters.



2本目の山頂

次回はいつ行けるかわからないが、なるべく走りに行けるようにしよう。

I don't know when I can go mountain biking next time, but I will try to do it as possible.
