The Autumn Leaves*…are turning, so this weekend we’ll try something a little different. After our usual Odaiba run on Saturday, we will on Sunday ride out via mostly riverside paths to Inokashira Park in the hope of catching a bit of seasonal color. Temps looking about 13-14 degrees, so a little chillier, but strong sunshine. And winds of up to 22 kph, so dress accordingly.Masks up for meeting points and convenience stores, etc. Optional while riding. Don’t forget an eco bag for your store-bought lunch.Saturd ...Continue Reading

Sorry if you get this twice; wasn’t getting a return from our mailing software. Sadly,*One of our most stalwart members* is leaving us soon, but he’d like to complete the karmic circle and go on one more Odaiba ride, thus this Saturday’s jaunt out that way will be dubbed the Greg Brutus /*Sayonara /*Odaiba Beginners’ Ride. /*I’ll also do another short ride on Sunday, out to Jonan Jima, and James will offer a full Tama loop, starting earlier with a possible meet-up at Jo ...Continue Reading

The Lovely*…fall weather continues, with a pair of 18-degree, mostly-sunny days coming up. We’d be fools to not go riding. So, no surprise, a couple of our standards, an Odaiba ride on Saturday and a Kasai Rinkai adventure on Sunday. Masks required only for meet-up spots, close gatherings and going into convenience stores, etc. Don’t forget your eco-bag for your convenience store lunches.Also on Sunday,* a post-ride gathering at my place to celebrate James’s 50th. Probably about 3:30 or 4:00. Bring something ...Continue Reading

Couldn’t be better*…cycling weather this weekend, with both days 19-20 degrees, light winds and sunny skies. It doesn’t get any better than this, people. You’ll miss these nice fall days come January.So a pair of our usual rides (the routes may be the same but the rides are always different), an Odaiba beginners’ run on Saturday and a Tama Loop on Sunday. Masks required only for the meet-up points, crowded places and convenience stores. Otherwise optional while riding.Thanks to Josh for what lo ...Continue Reading

Fall bikers,*There may be some slight “PM showers” on Sunday (19 degrees), but Saturday (20 degrees) will be brilliant, with little wind either day. So I’m going to switch the usual order and offer a 55-km Tama Loop Saturday and a 30-km Odaiba jaunt on Sunday. Also on Saturday, Dr Josh is planning a more advanced Halloween ghost town ride that looks pretty intriguing out Chichibu way. Masks now required only at meet-up points and for going into convenience stores, etc., but optional while ...Continue Reading

Rides 23, 24 and NEW MASK GUIDELINES

October 21st 2021 MDT

Who was that masked man?*My little vaccine poll *on Wednesday yielded only three unvaccinated members. One who has never ridden with us, one who will get right on it, and one who doesn’t even live in Japan anymore.Tokyo’s daily new cases* have gone from 4,700 on August 13 to about 25 this week. So, unless the numbers go up again, I’m lifting the requirement to remain masked while riding. Yay! But please bring along a mask* and wear it for our Hyatt meet-and-greet, and for when we go into convenience stor ...Continue Reading
