So let’s go out to Jonan Jima.Sunday Jonan Jima Plus*Start at the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi Hills at 11:00 for an easy, 35-km jaunt out to a little beach park near Haneda Airport, where we watch the planes come in and then watch them go away again.

*GONNA**RAIN**SUNDAY*Probably. But Saturday is going to be /gorgeous/, with temps of up to 14 degrees and little wind. In short, the day we’ve been waiting for to stretch it out a bit.

Start at the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi HIls at 11:00. Beach bar lunch. Canals, bridges, dedicated bike paths, waterfalls! Back by 3:30-ish.

*PUT ON AN *EXTRA *LAYER*…because, baby, it’s cold outside. I just went out for a quickie, and it was, shall we say, short of pleasant. But no rain for the next few days, so bundle up and we’ll hit the road spinning. Because it’s all about the exercise.Sending the weekly bulletin a bit early, as there is some interest in a ride tomorrow, Thursday. That’ll be to Jonan Jima. Then another Jonan ride on Saturday and Odaiba on Sunday. Thursday Jonan*A quick ride out to the beach across from Haneda Airport ...Continue Reading

*NOT **SO HOT*…is what the weather is going to be on Saturday, cloudy with a max of 10 degrees. But since rain is forecast for Sunday, we will stubbornly mount up and head for the beach at Odaiba. Gotta get that exercise, that daylight, that socializing. And we’ll very likely end up at Hobgoblin Roppongi, which is hopefully warmer. *Saturday Odaiba*Start at the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi Hills at 11:00 a.m. for a quick, 30-km jaunt out to the magical island in the bay. Back by 2:30 or so. Beach bar lunch (or wait ...Continue Reading
