EVEN BETTER

… than last weekend is what the weather will be on Saturday (23 degrees) and Sunday (20). So we have three rides planned. James will lead a Tama Loop ride on Saturday with a possible brief hook-up with Paul, who has just been released from hospital. On the same day, Josh and Todd will stage their annual Chichibu Halloween Ghost Town ride. And on Sunday I’ll do an Odaiba jaunt.

All covid restrictions are dropped. Please bring along an eco-bag for your convenience store lunches. Half-fast frowns on single-use plastic bags.
