... or, "a not so speedy gents & ladies" ride
You love the mountains. You love to climb but you also like to keep your breakfast where it belongs. You like to put in some miles, but you also appreciate solid food at lunchtime, and the chance to take the odd scenic photo without a lycra-clad backside poking into the foreground...
If this sounds like you, and you're generally terrified of those heroic 200km+ rides at race-pace (God knows I am...) then this might be just what the physio ordered: a Sub-Prime Ride.
Start: Higashi-Ome, 7-11 (a few hundred metres north of the station - see map)
Finish: Komagawa Stn
Total Distance: 105km
Total Elevation: 2700m
Route: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Ome-Stn-Arima-Toge-Chichibu-Greenline-Komagawa-Stn
To account for the slightly more leisurely pace, we need to start a little earlier than normal: Ideally, on the road by 8:15....
Suggested train:
Shinjuku: Dept 07:00 Chuo-sen, Super Azusa 1-Go スーパーあずさ1号(松本行)
Tachikawa: Arrive 07:20
Dept 07:32 Ome-sen
Higashi Ome: Arrive 08:00
(I'll be joining at Tachikawa)
Sorry for the short notice.... currently it's Lee (Wolfman) and myself, but the more the merrier --
Cheers
Steve
