100

KILOMETERS

Old Steven Wright joke: Guy goes to a store that’s advertised as open 24 hours, but when he gets there, the proprietor is just closing up. What gives? He points to a sign in the window that says, “Open 24 Hours.” The proprietor replies, “Yeah, but not all at once!” (rimshot)

So we will indeed cycle 100 kilometers this warm weekend, but over two rides, a 45-km Odaiba Plus ride on Saturday and a 55-km Tama River loop on Sunday.

Break out the sunscreen, because the forecast is for temps up to 22 degrees and sunny, with little wind.

Thanks to all who showed up at last night’s Pink Cow gathering. Great burritos and conversation. Next such meeting penciled in for April 16th.

And don’t forget to mark your calendars for our next Tokyo Bay Cruise, on the evening of June 14th.

Saturday Odaiba Plus

We add 15k or so to our usual Odaiba run to make a scenic 45-km experience. Canals, dedicated bike paths, bridges, back roads. Beach bar lunch. Start at the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi Hills at 11:00 a.m. Back by about 3:30.

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. (Bring an eco-bag; Half-Fast frowns on single-use plastic bags.) Please contact me if one of these meeting spots applies to you. 090-5813-6721. Back by 3:00 or 3:30.
