Additional ride from Frank,I would like to lead a Tama loop ride from the _Hyatt Roppongi 11am on this Sunday November 2nd_. A little detour from usual will be a stop at Torch bakery ( cos there is no Optional Bakery/ Santa 🧑🎄). A plus of Torch Bakery is outside covered seating for about 10-15 folks & more than ample bike parking. Not to mention rather delicious bakery food. Then will go back to Hinode dori & continue on traditional HFC route.https://maps.app.goo.gl/y5GK5xZYCona2MyV8?g_st=ilIn short 2 routes f ...Continue Reading
