“Deth March” was the subject line of the e-mail that went around for this Saturday’s ride, so it went without question that a certain amount of suffering would be involved. The plan was to do the complete Demon trail loop, but heavy rain on Friday made us switch to our backup plan of a long ride at Wailuna. I had it set in my mind to link the Wailuna ascent, Waimano Ridge trail, and Waimano Mystery hills into a loop. We have ridden all of the pieces, but never together as a complete circuit.

The description perked my interest, well priced izakayaish tidbits. Then thought of Tokkuri Tei. Tokkuri Tei is one of the places that for years I’ve been saying should try. I heard good things about it, but never got around to going there. Continue reading ‘Tokkuri Tei’
Does Kid Rock not see the irony about invoking CCR’s “Sweet Home Alabama” in a song about growing up in “Northern Michigan”? WTF?!
(0)Saw a white Nissan GT-R this morning headed freeway-bound on Punchbowl. Didn’t see the plates, so I couldn’t tell if it was from a dealer here or brought in from the contiguous 48. Big. Rather ugly.
