Mt. Aso, Day 1

Fourth visit to Onyu Pass in two weeks. Colors are getting prettier. Group ride with 6.

Quite loaded down today... brought 10+kg of camera equipment (Nikon D4, Nikkor 70-200/2.8, Nikkor 24-70/2.8), and a Thermos of hot coffee (to drink at Onyu Pass).  All in a backpack, except the camera and one lens, slung on a strap. Sort of ungainly to ride with.

Tried to reclaim KOM on "Furai-no-sato Descent" but my chain popped off early on. Oh well, next time.

Went ahead of the group to get photos of them climbing Onyu. Put the 70-200/2.8 to good use, though the haze was difficult to deal with.

Spent so much time on Onyu that I was shocked when I looked at my watch after descending. Had to scoot home, so I bid adieu and high-tailed it home.
