I know it's rough for those running at Maishima today, but
it rained during the night. But for me, it's a perfect opportunity.
I had a specific reason for wanting a chance to ride in the rain.

In the rain
I brought out
my cyclocross bike


The waterproofing
is working well—
water just beads off


Moranbon (rain jacket)—
I'm testing
this too


In the forest
high-intensity light
on fallen leaves

Hey you there—what are you doing at this hour?
We can chat slowly about it later (a bit too many syllables)
