R158 Hirayu Takayama ~ Okuhida Onsen


Hirayu is 1684m above sea level and the air is cool.

Looking over Okuhida Onsenkyo below, the world of colored leaves spread like a carpet.

 

In silence, suddenly an exhaust note reverberated from the tunnel behind.

When I looked away, I saw a black helmet rider.

The rider just shifts down to 2nd with full brake at about 2 meters in front of the eyes, exits the left crank, and dive down to the right hairpin.

Cut in to the right when the guardrail breaks. The cut-in position is quite deep.

The clipping point is on the right center line. The machine shakes. This is because the pavement around the clipping point is poor and there are steps in the bridge girder.

The rider is running in a rush. I thought I was confident.

 

The five machines then shook the downshift heels and shook their shirts and bangs with the wind.

 

I was just watching their run. There was no special feeling.

What do you run for and how will you step into your next life?

 

When I looked up at the sky, a clear blue sky with no clouds covered the burning red and yellow carpets.
