My night with Funaki-san was a great memory. This morning I woke up around 5:30 and chilled at Funaki-san's place all morning. I had breakfast from 7-11 and called my parents for Father's Day. At around 9am Funaki-san came over and we chatted until his student arrived at 10. She was 9 years old and super shy about saying hi to me, but I tried to get her to listen to me a little as I showed her my bike and my duck. After their lesson, I asked Funaki-san if I could stay a couple more hours and get some work done, which of course he was fine with. He explained that today would be a slow day because the hospital nearby is closed on Sundays, so not many people walk by. I said goodbye at 1pm and video called Steph so that she could meet him. I then went to the bike shop and they had the brake pad I needed to fix my front brake. But then the thru axle wouldn't loosen and I was stripping the hex hole trying to do it. The mechanic called Cannondale and they explained my specific bolt was a unique Cannondale spec and so he didn't have any in store, meaning of he broke mine trying to get it off he had nothing to replace it wih. This means I'll be without a front brake until I finish at Sapporo.... great. This sent me into a little spiral and I was questioning if I still want to even keep going. I went to hama sushi to fill up, then just tried to leave the city and camp to clear my head. I found a bike path that left the city, and there was a park alongside it a few km away to pitch my tent. Just before the park I saw two MASSIVE horses and got a real great shot of one of them right in time. I'll decide what I'm doing and where I'm going in the morning.
