But this miserable weather will soon give way to a pair of supremely bikeable weekend days, at 23 degrees or more and mostly sunny with little wind. So I’m  planning two intermediate rides, a Saturday Tama River loop and a Sunday Odaiba Plus. Looks like the blossoms won’t be blooming until next week, but I have cataract surgery next week and I’m not sure if it will be safe to bike. We’ll figure something out. I’ll get to the rides in a minute, but first...

Mac and I went to visit Paul yesterday and can report that he looks way better than he has any right to after some punishing cancer therapies. He sends you all a wave and a smile. Guy’s a real trouper!

Next, I ran across this article on the many benefits of lifelong cycling beyond the obvious excellent and fun exercise. A bit wordy, but he makes some good points that Half-Fast supports. Here’s a link: https://www.mensjournal.com/adventure/live-to-ride-peter-flax


The rides, then:

Saturday 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 (bring an eco-bag). Please contact me if one of these meeting spots applies to you. 090-5813-6721. Back by 3:00 or 3:30. 


Sunday Odaiba Plus


We add 15 or 20 km on to the front end of our usual 30-km Odaiba run to make a longer and more interesting ride. Canals, dedicated bike paths, Dinosaur Bridge, windmills, and lunch at a beach bar. Start at the Hyatt at 11:00. Back by 3:30 at the latest. Coffee


All for now,
