I've been living in Tokyo for about a year now but have only recently found the time to get myself out on the bike to do some serious riding. In the past few years I've just rode to maintain some resemblance of form since my days as an amateur and collegiate cyclist.
I've been trying to find some decent roads to ride / hills to climb around where I live on the East side of Tokyo but it seems I can't go 100m without hitting a stoplight or dealing with bottleneck traffic. I'm not keen to the idea of bagging my bike and riding the train, however I'm not sure there are many other options to get out of Tokyo without riding 2 hours first.
In any case, I'd like to meet up with some of you guys for a training ride and will monitor the posts for future rides!
