Bundle up!
It doesn’t usually get this cold until after Christmas, but at least it’ll be dry and therefore we will be out there peddling our asses around Tokyo and environs. On Saturday (12 degrees and sunny) I’ll do the usual run out to Odaiba. On Sunday (15 degrees but cloudy) a Tama loop. Also on Sunday, Peter and Akira will go climb some hills.
Half-Fast Bonenkai
Be sure to come down to the Pink Cow on Wednesday the 11th for our bonenkai and dig in to some of that great Cow grub. Here’s their menu:
