Last fall I rode down to Zushi for a big BBQ that a bunch of friends have at their "Seaside Hut" about 100m from the beach on Zushi.
>> Here is the route I planed to ride << I stuck to that mostly, got a little lost a couple of times.
I left at about 8PM and got there about midnight, yeah, 4 hours, and I rode through the city just about non-stop, traffic light, to traffic light, fighting taxis and trucks the whole way, I enjoyed it, but I know there must be a much better way to get there on bike. That trip was about 65Km, which at the time, on my barely modified old Cannondale was, in my mind quite the achievement, now I know that is not such a big ride, but it was for me then.
On July 17th, we are having another BBQ party, as both of our daughters will be in Canada over the summer, we have decided NOT to drive down, my wife with take the train with some other friends who are going, and I want to ride down. The party starts around noon, so if I get an early start, I can take a much more enjoyable route (one MUST exist!!) and be there on time. I'll do that whole BBQ party thing, then take the Rinko bag route home, mostly because I plan on having a few beers!
So, from Shinjuku down to Zushi, any route ideas?
Cheers!
