The part between Day 1 and Day 2

Favorite snack: $1.25 at any convenience store. Nori, sticky sushi rice, various center components.

Exiting the party, morning of September 23rd. Christian and I met Tomity. Tomity is a Shimano Dura Ace cog-shaping, polishing, plating Keirin rider. 25 year Keirin career and counting.
Christian sat in gum. Tomity ices the gum, we scrape the hardened gum off.

Optimally re-shaped teeth, jewel polish, gold plating. Makes track bikes race faster. Champions seem to like them.


Tomity guided us to Messenger Camp. An amazing start to the day. An amazing moment in time.
