AHOY!

First, an update on this year’s Tokyo Bay Cruise on June 6. Our crew strength is now up to 64, and there’s room for maybe a dozen more. I’ll cut it off if it gets too crowded. So if you’re been sitting on the fence, now is the time to reserve your spot. Printable details attached here:  Please take special note of the new gathering place, just down the canal from last year. Oedo Line Exit 5. It’s a new exit that comes up right at the boat. I’ll send a note a few days before sailing date. The weather forecast is good, mid-20s with only a very slight chance of some sprinkles.

Cycling-wise, this weekend I’ll keep it to a pair of short, keep-fit rides, to Odaiba and Jonan. It’s going to be HOT, at 29-30 degrees, so please stay hydrated, put on plenty of sunscreen and don’t overdo.

Saturday Odaiba Run

Start at the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi Hills at 11:00 a.m. for an easy, 30-km ride out to the magical island in the bay for a beach bar lunch, and perhaps a brew or two. Back by around 2:00.

Sunday Jonan Jaunt

Start at the Grand Hyatt at 11:00 a.m. for a 35-km ride out to another little beach park, near Haneda Airport. Please bring an eco-bag for your convenience store lunch. Back by 2:30 at the latest.
