Hi,
I am a very keen cyclist and new to the forum and am moving to Yokohama for work in October 19. I am Australian but have been working abroad as an expat for some time. I have done some google searching regarding clubs, group riding and training and racing which directed me to your club and forum.
In Australia I raced Masters A and B grade in crits, road and TT (Although ive lost some form from then) so I am not sure what grade that would translate to in Japan. In the last few years I competed in a few road races in Europe at a decent-ish level.
I am interested on advice on:
1. Which club to join and how to go about this
2. Where to ride and train - any ideas on routes
3. Training groups - are there any groups doing training rides together
4. The racing scene - Is there a website that details the races Crit, Road, TT and Triathlon disciplines. Also do you need a license to race and where do you get it?
5. Good bike shops in the area for maintenance and purchases
Thanks all and look forward to seeing you on the road.
Bruce
