*HOT* But hopefully not too hot to ride this weekend. James will do an early morning ride to Jonan on Saturday, while I will lead two rides to Odaiba, a daytime ride on Saturday and an evening ride on Sunday. Use sunscreen and drink a lot of water, You too, Mac. Thanks to all who came on last weekend’s Tokyo Bay Cruise, with a special shout-out to the musicians Marcus and Atsuo, to Akira for liaising with the boat rental company, and to twinkle toes herself Miu Nakagawa. We’ll do it again in a year. ...Continue Reading

You get the idea. Also God, the universe and politics. And drink wine. We start rolling in at 7:00. This month I inconveniently have to work in the evening, so try to bravel ...Continue Reading
