Bikers!
Just three rides this fine weekend. I’ll do the usual Odaiba jaunt on Saturday and a Tama loop on Sunday, and Kelvin is inviting you along on a KIWL training ride on Sunday.
Tokyo Bay Cruise Update
The boat’s full. If you’ve been putting off signing up, you’ve waited too long. A select few more will be admitted with sufficient abject grovelling and/or outright bribery (expensive Italian reds seem to work). Those wishing to pay in advance (recommended) can do so at 11 a.m. at the Hyatt Saturday or Sunday.
Saturday Odaiba Beginners'
Start at the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi Hills at 11:00 a.m. Easy 30-km lope out to the Beach by the Bay for a brew or two. Back by around 2:30
Sunday Tama Loop
Intermediate-level. 55km, easy but fast. Start at the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi Hills at 11:00 a.m. Alternate rendezvous points: KFC in Ebisu @ 11:30, Intersection of Kan-Nana and Komazawa-Dori @ 11:45, Komazawa Park @ noon, bridge at Futako-Tamagawa (Kanagawa side) @ 12:20, Gas Bashi @ 12:45 or 1:00. Long break at Jonan Jima seaside park (across from Haneda) at 1:30 or 2:00. Convenience store lunch. Please contact me if one of these meeting spots applies to you. 090-5813-6721. Back by 3:00 or 3:30.
Sunday Greenline via Hanno
Meet @ the South exit of Hanno Station
From the station we’ll head north over the Greenline climbing 800m. After the second climb around the 48 km point, we will descend to Hanno and stop for a lunch around 56 km point. This is a ride with a distance of approximately 75 km, and roughly 1,400 meters of climbing.
This is a training ride for KIWL riders but everyone is welcome to come along! It will be WATT and pace will be adjusted to the slowest rider in the group.
Bring the usual (spare inner tube, mini tool, water bottles (recommend two) and consider also a bug repellent).
Suggested Train: Fukutoshin Line express train departing Shinjuku Sanchome station at 07:33 and arrives at Hanno at 08:26 (no transfer). Note: This train originates from Yokohama as the Tokyu Toyoko line, running into Shibuya and straight through to Hanno. Once we arrive at Hanno Station, we’ll get stocked up on fluids/snacks at the adjacent convenience store and plan to be on the road by 09:00 or sooner.
