SUNDAY*...may see some rain, now posted as “PM Showers,” so nothing for that day. If the morning is nice, though, by all means get out there and do some pedaling. But on SATURDAY we have three rides on offer. First, Peter will do a “Get High in Tokyo” ride and, as the name implies, involves a bit of climbing. Then James will launch a Tama River loop later in the morning, at 11, and I will do a *late-start *out-and-back to Odaiba, possibly not stopping at all but ending up at Hobgoblin hopefully in sy ...Continue Reading

Bundle up!*Getting cooler (Sat 14, Sun 18), so put on or bring along an extra layer.On Saturday, Paul will offer his Temple Ride, 70km upstream along the Tama, and on Sunday I’ll do an Odaiba Plus jaunt.*New riders: Please do not ignore our request to bring along an eco bag for any convenience store lunches. It’s insane to accept a plastic bag from a shop, use it for ten minutes and toss it, perhaps to end up in the ocean. Bring along a reusable bag. It’s a simple way to help the environment. This is not a casual ...Continue Reading

CARPE*DIEM*…lads and lassies. Saturday looking cold and cloudy, but still quite doable, bike-wise. I have nothing planned for that day (lead a ride!), but will likely do a 45-km Odaiba Plus ride on Sunday (18 degrees and sunny). More in Friday’s mailing.Tomorrow (Thursday), however, is looking too nice to not ride. 23 degrees and sunny. It’s a national holiday. So some of us are going to do a Tama loop. Masks up, please, for meet-up spots and stores. Otherwise optional while riding. Bring an eco-bag for your conven ...Continue Reading

Looks like*A repeat of last weekend’s weather, with temps in the low 20s and some “PM showers” on Sunday.So we have three rides on offer. I’ll do the thrillingly traditional Odaiba run* on Saturday and weather permitting an intermediate level Tama River loop on Sunday. (if the rain threatens to come earlier, like it did last week, I’ll turn this into a simple out-and-back to Jonan Jima. Or cancel it Saturday night.) Also on Sunday, Todd has a more ambitious assault of Takao.*"The route ...Continue Reading

Saturday*…is looking like the dry one this weekend, so a reprise of our “Odaiba Plus” ride, no? Sunday’s forecast at this writing is for “PM showers” starting at about 3:00, so I’ll not schedule anything for now. This could change if the forecast improves, and if so look for a message about a quickie to Jonan Jima Saturday evening.Masks up, please, for meet-up spots and stores, etc. Otherwise optional while riding. Bring an eco-bag for any purchases. Half-Fast frowns on single-use plastics. Vaccinate ...Continue Reading
