There’s been a new state of
Emergency
...declared for Tokyo and its surrounding areas, so this weekend please give special attention to keeping your masks up and observing proper social distancing on our breaks. I think the mental and physical benefits of getting out for a little properly distanced exercise outweigh the risks. Note: If you’ve been in the habit of frequenting indoor bars, restaurants, parties and other risky environments, pleas feel free to not join us.
The forecast for this weekend is for cold (7-8 degrees) and sunny, mostly, so we’ll offer a pair of our usual keep-fit rides. Bundle up!
Masks up. please. And bring an eco-bag for our convenience store lunches.We frown on single-use plastic bags.

Note: If it’s not nice and sunny when we get near the beach at Jonan, we’ll divert to a closer convenience store by the Oda-ku baseball stadium for a quick break.
That’s it for this week. Monday’s a holiday but I have to work anyway. If you want to lead a ride, let me know the details soonest and I’ll let the group know.
