Hakuba Foot Spa Back On The Saddle Ride

First ride since Wednesday’s crash training. Still hurts to bend my arm where the long scab is forming on my elbow but most of the pain all over my body is down to a minor annoyance.
This morning I went down to Gusto for their 523 yen breakfast special. 2 fried eggs, a sausage, a small piece of bacon, some salad, toast and strawberry jam, 2 cappuccinos, and a double espresso and I was as high as a kite and raring to go. For the rest of the day I’ve been eating grapes only.

Before my ride I took the dogs for a walk past the PowderHouse hotel where the Hoodoo Gurus are setting up to perform tomorrow. I’m working on getting a ticket in, at the moment and hope to be able to give a report tomorrow with pics. Hoodoo Gurus in Japan and playing about 300 meters from where I’m sitting right now. Unbelievable!

After walking the dogs I took scraggy scooby doing Sora aside and spent about an hour stripping and cutting his poor coat. Managed not to lacerate any arteries this time and Sora hopefully will get some new black hairs to grow out and hide all his grey hairs.

After misplacing the front door key for an hour I got on my bike and headed off. Was going to do the usual up 406 and back routine but also wanted to do the outdoor foot spa on the way home. To make it a loop I headed South then up to the top of 406 then down to Hakuba station and up the back street to the foot spa.

Photos to go here after I get my Hoodoo Guru tickets…pics are on my phone Mini Sd card and I’m not turning the phone of yet. Not till I get that ticket in my hands.
