The correct date is June 14th. There’s a flyer attached, which you can print out and invite your friends. Note that just three days after the ...Continue Reading

*BURRITOS**BY BIKE*Just a note to remind you of our monthly gathering at the Pink Cow in Akasaka tomorrow (Wednesday). This is something we did each month for two decades until COVID, and resumed last month to great success. The Cow is a funky art bar run by the irrepressible Traci Consoli, offering some fine and healthy things to eat, especially the burritos. Consider these monthly meetings as a way to see what your fellow Half-Fasters look like without the helmets, shades and Rapha togs. We start rollin ...Continue Reading

Thursday Midweek Odaiba*Start at 11:00 at the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi Hills for the usual 30-km run out to the beach at Odaiba. The beach bar is closed on Thursdays, but I have in mind a lunch spot on the banks of the migh ...Continue Reading

🌸🌸🌸There’s probably a few blossoms yet to bloom, so on *Saturday* we’ll head out to our traditional spot near the Ota-ku baseball stadium to appreciate them a bit. And there are a few pretty spots along the way. Sunday looks less welcoming, but if the forecast improves, look for a message Saturday afternoon about a ride out to Odaiba. Saturday Ohanami Ride*At just 23kn, it’s more of a jaunt out to a picnic than a real ride, but great fun. Start at 11:00 a.m. from the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi Hills. We’ll stop a ...Continue Reading
