I think I will join with Pete on this ride. It is very challenging and chance to climb-to-fail because the steep portion. Perfect for pre-Kusatsu training (for me anyway).

So this Saturday, let's do Shiraishi Toge. We'll ride up the Arakawa as usual and then follow this map: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/330487

Depending on time and energy levels we have a couple of up options once we reach the summit. We can turn around and descend back down the climb we just did, or if we are doing really good on time we can do a part of the Green Line that we've never ridden before. Either way, we can take an alternative way home.

The days are starting to get a little longer and it's getting a little warmer so how about a 7:30am meeting time? Also, how about meeting just off the river at the Family Mart convenience store located here: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=35.79...5.793702,139.685808&spn=0.00372,0.008256&z=18
 
Hey guys! It was so amazing ride today!
Pete, Thanks for the organization & Leading all the way to the 'siraisi toge' and back as well.
You saved our leg!
Sat, we couldn't find the right bridge to wait for you.... sorry for the misunderstanding and hope you're
back to home safely.
and tim/james/steve/fumiki/takaaki/max. I think we did great team work/hc training today. ;-)

In my garmin, the distance was 180k. and this is the garmin data.
And the photo was uploaded here.

Anyhow, Let's meet next saturday again! Yabitsu is waiting for us!

Yeah really excellent ride today! We started with 9 riders and finished with 7. Two had time constraints and turned back. I ended up with 186km door to door and about 1800m of vertical climbing for the day. It was nice doing Shiraishi Toge for the first time and a part of the Green Line that I hadn't done before!

Great to see and ride with everyone, I'm looking forward to next weekend!
 
Great ride, good to see old faces and new, and a chance to pop the cherry on my TCC jersey. And who can forget the surprise shakuhachi and song performance by the hiker at Shomaru Toge !

Thanks for arranging this Pete and pulling us out there - and Tim for the training tips !

Looking forward to the next one --

Cheers
Steve
 
And thank you Steve for non-stop shit you gave me all the way home! :p

Obviously, just kidding it was great meeting and riding with you. I look forward to tackling Nenogongentenryu-ji Jinja with you soon! BTW, I meant to ask you... we rode right passed there, why didn't we just do it today? :D
 
Well, the guy did 'la rambada' performance was KONAMI's representative director. :D
So strange why he gave us a name card.
Anyhow anybody wants this name card for your next job apply? :rolleyes: hahaha.
(Game field is not related to my professional so let me know if you want this. kkkk)
 
I enjoyed riding with everybody.
Thanks again Pete!!

I think he was trying to prove that KONAMI is the real entertainment company and he made it!!:rolleyes:
