Okay, *Winter’s *Here*Getting colder, so bundle up! This Saturday I have to wait around for some apartment maintenance guys, and anyway with a high of about 7 it’ll be colder than a crocodile’s crotch. So no rides from me.But that apparently doesn’t deter Phil and Matt, who have humbly leapt into the breach to offer a few rides detailed below. Note: they start from the same spot a half hour apart and both head toward the Arakawa, so don’t end up with the wrong group.On Sunday I’ll do an Odaiba ride, with ...Continue Reading

THE FINE*WEATHER*...seems to be holding into mid-December (15 Saturday and sunny, up to 17 Sunday and mostly sunny with not too much wind). It can’t last. We’ll miss this kind of weather come January and February.So how about the usual Odaiba run on Saturday and a Tama loop on Sunday? Masks up for meet-up spots and crowded places; optional while riding. Don’t forget your eco bag for your convenience-store lunch. Saturday Odaiba Beginners*Start at the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi Hills at 11:00 a.m. for an ...Continue Reading

Chillier*…this weekend but still quite bikeable. Saturday 14 degrees, Sunday 11, with sun both days and low winds.So we have three rides for you to choose from; I’ll do a pair of easy rides, to Odaiba and Haneda, and Phil plans to go out Tamagawa way Sunday and do something frighteningly called “hill repeats.” I don’t now what that means, nor do I want to. Masks up for meet-up spots and convenience stores, etc., optional while riding. And don’t forget your eco bag for when you buy your lunch. Ha ...Continue Reading

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

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
