Night Riders!*That sounds so cool. This weekend we will continue our heat-beating tactics with a pair of evening rides and one very early jaunt. The temps are forecast to be as high as 38 degrees (before the “feels like" bump), so I really don’t recommend strenuous exercise during the middle of the day. James will do a very early ride to Jonan Saturday morning, and I’ll follow that in the evening with one to the Dinosaur Bridge out by Wakasu Park. Sunday night a ride to Odaiba. Make sure your bike lamps ...Continue Reading

What is that thing, anyway? I don’t quite know what to make of it. The weather maps are showing a string of this odd thing for the next several days. What can it be? Can the monsoon really be over? Before you rejoice, though, be reminded that now the hot water starts. Anyway, we’ll reprise the two rides that were rained out (sort of) last weekend. It’s going to be 30-31 degrees, so slow and easy and stay hydrated. And put on plenty of sunscreen. Masks up, please. Saturday Odaiba Beginners’ Start at the Grand Hyat ...Continue Reading
