<p>Half-Fasters, </p><p>First of all, thanks to James and Mike for handling things during my recent travels. I biked in Silicon Valley, Vancouver and points between. I understand few rides were offered due to James’s sudden appendicitis and the general very wet weather conditions. We’ll step it up this fall. </p><p>We also lost an irreplaceable member in Paul Barry. Hope the biking is good up there.</p><p>This weekend, Saturday will be wet, and I have visitors on Sunday, so no rides on offer. Let me know if you want to venture a Sunday ride. Next weekend looks more promising. </p><p>All I got for now,</p><p>Il Padrone</p><p>090-5813-6721</p> -- <small>Thank you for being on our list. You can <a href="">Unsubscribe</a> at any time.</small>

Paul Barry

<p>Dear Half-Fasters,</p>
<p>It is with immeasurable sorrow that I report to you that Paul Barry passed away last Saturday, peacefully in his sleep.</p>
<p>Paul was a unique member of the club, always helping out new members and often leading rides. I think I’ll remember him most for his dry British wit.</p>
<p>Misa wrote, “I wanted to say that I think some of Paul’s happiest times were when he was out cycling with all of you. He really loved cycling, but I think what he enjoyed most was being out there with his cycling friends. I know those times and friendships meant a great deal to him.”</p>
<p>There will be a non-religious ceremony on Tuesday, Sept. 22, 11:00 - 12:00 at Yoyohata Funeral Hall, 2-42-1 Nishihara, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo.
</p>
<p>We’ll need a nose count, so please RSVP to James Wee at sw08023@PROTECTED</p>
<p>If you wish to send flowers, please contact Hibiya Kadan Co. by 5:30 p.m., Sept. 20. Phone: 0120-8794-87</p>
<p>— Don Morton</p>

Sunday 30th - Yabitsu RIDE

<span style="font-size: 14px;"><b><span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Sunday 30 August: Yabitsu - from </span></b><span style="font-family: ArialMT;"> </span><a href="mailto:peter.evans.somewhere@PROTECTED" style="font-family: ArialMT;">peter.evans.somewhere@PROTECTED</a><b><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /></b><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Setting off (not just gathering) at 07:50 from the sole exit of Karakida station (Odakyū Tama line, across the street from a Family Mart).</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><span style="font-family: ArialMT;">The route: </span><a href="https://ridewithgps.com/routes/51370607" style="font-family: ArialMT;">https://ridewithgps.com/routes/51370607</a><span style="font-family: ArialMT;"> . First, 25 km of suburbia/park/exurbia and kind-of-countryside brings us to our first convenience store stop. Then we really are out of the city. There’s a short stretch with pleasing views of lake Miyagase; at 29 km we turn onto Kanagawa route 70 and follow it up, over, and down Yabitsu pass.</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><span style="font-family: ArialMT;">The road zigs and zags, the scenery changes. There aren’t many cars or motorbikes; there are very few trucks. You won’t be breathing in exhaust fumes. And for a stretch of 28 km, there are no traffic lights.</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><span style="font-family: ArialMT;">58 km from the start we’ll veer east for lunch and Isehara station; but if you’re pushed for time or worried about a slightly scary tunnel, you can instead follow the road down to Hadano station.</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Slow. (I’m an old geezer.) Anyone is free to go ahead. (But don’t expect me to look for you.)</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><span style="font-family: ArialMT;">We nowhere go along rindō; surfaces aren’t bad going uphill and are good everywhere else, and tyres of 23 mm and up should be fine. Your brakes must be in good condition for the descent ( </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SfB3BCFsFc" style="font-family: ArialMT;">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SfB3BCFsFc</a><span style="font-family: ArialMT;"> ).</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><span style="font-family: ArialMT;">As the RwGPS map says, the ride is 66 km and we climb 1250m. It’s not a tough climb, but neither is it trivial.</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Bring:</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /></span><div style="font-family: ArialMT;"></div><ul style="font-family: ArialMT;"><li><span style="font-size: 14px;">whatever you need in order to recover from a puncture</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;">lights for a couple of tunnels</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;">one or two water bottles</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;">cash (for lunch)</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;">lock (for the bike, while you’re having lunch)</span></li></ul><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><span style="font-family: ArialMT;">And if you’re using the train, of course you’ll need a </span><i style="font-family: ArialMT;">rinkōbukuro</i><span style="font-family: ArialMT;">. (Don’t have one? Read </span><a href="https://tinyurl.com/rinkoubukuro" style="font-family: ArialMT;">https://tinyurl.com/rinkoubukuro</a><span style="font-family: ArialMT;"> .)</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /><span style="font-family: ArialMT;">If you’d prefer a GPX, FIT or other file, the RwGPS web page lets you download this.</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;" /></span><div style="font-family: ArialMT;"></div><div style="font-family: ArialMT;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: ArialMT;">At the time of writing, it’s forecast to be cloudy but dry. If the forecast dampens, I may cancel.
