It could rain
…next weekend, so best we get out there and do some pedaling while we can. (29-29 degrees, sunny.)
Three rides up this weekend. James will do his +/- 120 km “Ice Cream Ride" upstream along the Arakawa on Saturday. That’s too much for my old bones, so I’ll stick closer to home, offering the usual Odaiba beach run on Saturday and another easy lope to Jonan Jima (Haneda) on Sunday.
Masks up, please for meet-up spots and convenience stores; otherwise optional while riding. Vaccinated riders only. Please bring proof of vaccination.
Don’t forget the sunblock!
Saturday Ice Cream Ride
A long and flat ride up the Arakawa. Have some ice cream at Enomoto farm and say hi to BACON. Go back down the Arakawa. Multiple places to drop off.
Distance: 100-120km (depending on where you start)
Pace: Slow (those darn winds on the Arakawa)
Start: Grand Hyatt Roppongi Hills
Date: 1-October-2022
Time: 0700JST (5min wait time)
Pace: intermediate ride, beginners pace
Prerequisite: WATER, HELMET, FACEMASK
Distance: ~120km
Saturday Odaiba Jaunt
Start at the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi Hills at 11:00 a.m. for an easy 30-km ride out to the magical island in the bay for a brew or two at the beach. Back by 2::30 at the latest
Sunday Jonan Jima
Start at the Grand Hyatt at 11 for another easy ride out to Jonan Jima seaside park, where we sit on the dock of the bay, watch the planes come in, and watch them fly away again. Call it 35 km, as I’ll probably add a little riff before we get to the beach. Back by 2:30.
The hits just keep on comin’
