Bundle up!
Getting cooler (Sat 14, Sun 18), so put on or bring along an extra layer.
On Saturday, Paul will offer his Temple Ride, 70km upstream along the Tama, and on Sunday I’ll do an Odaiba Plus jaunt.
New riders: Please do not ignore our request to bring along an eco bag for any convenience store lunches. It’s insane to accept a plastic bag from a shop, use it for ten minutes and toss it, perhaps to end up in the ocean. Bring along a reusable bag. It’s a simple way to help the environment. This is not a casual request; non-compliance will result in being dropped from our mailing list.
Masks up, please, for meet-up spots, stores, etc. Otherwise optional while riding. Helmet, spare tube, eco-bag, water, and leave the headphones at home.
Saturday Early Takahata Fudo (Paul)
We'll be going to go up the Tama river to Takahata Fudo (in Hino City) where you can buy a new "Kotsu Anzen Omamori" to keep safe for another year.

We will meet at 10.00 a.m. (sharp) at the West entrance to Komazawa Park. From there we go to Futakobashi and up the Tama river (far side up to Koremasabashi and then on the Tokyo side for a while before crossing back over. We'll have a brief wander round the temple area and make any desired souvenir purchases before leaving.
From there we'll head up the Kawasaki Kaido and cross back over to the Tokyo side (near Tachikawa) and back down the river with a brief pause for a combini lunch.
Total distance probably 70 kms which makes this an INTERMEDIATE ride on distance although the pace will beginner level.
I would guess we’d get back to Komazawa Park around 3.30 p.m.
Please bring spare tubes and a pump etc. Masks for combini, eco bags, helmets as usual.
