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

James will do his +/- 120 km “Ice Cream Ride" upstream along the Arakawa on Saturday. That’s too much for my old bones, so I’ll stick closer to home, offering the usual Odaiba beach run on Saturday and another easy lope to Jonan Jima (Haneda) on Sunday.Masks up, please for meet-up spots and convenience stores; otherwise optional while riding. Vaccinated riders only.* Plea ...Continue Reading
