Because I can’t do another day indoors, I’m going to go ahead and schedule a quick, 30-km keep-fit ride to Odaiba Sunday. Start at the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi Hills at 11:00 a.m..Back by 2:00. But I’ll retain the option of canceling by 9:00 if the forecast worsens. Going to be 11 and cloudy.Il Padrone, 090-5813-6721 -- Thank you for being on our list.

LOOKS *LIKE*...the dry, cool weather will continue for a while, reportedly forecast to warm up to as high as 16 degrees next weekend. Meanwhile this weekend will see temps of 8-10, partly cloudy weather. So a ride or two for you.

MERRY *HALF-FAST *CHRISTMAS!***While it’s true that most people will be spending time with their families this weekend, I’m betting that more than a few are looking for a few hours away from them as well.

Besides, we’ve got a fine weekend coming up, with 12-degree max temps and partly to mostly sunny skies. Masks up, please, for meet-up spots and stores, etc. Bring a reusable eco ba ...Continue Reading
