Happy New Year! 365 days to ride this year!
In December I signed up for a repeat of the 360+ km Fleche ride from Aichi to Tokyo that we had planned for April 2020 but had to postpone to October. Ultimately we couldn't finish it within the time limit because of the typhoon. The 2021 version will be in early April, so my plan is to ride as much as possible in January, keep riding enough in cold February to maintain my condition and get into decent shape in March with more rides.
What are your hopes or plans for the year?
Vaccinations will probably not start much before April, with most of us not being able to get vaccinated before June because we aren't old enough and don't have other risk factors. I am hoping that enough people modify their behaviour in January to halt the ongoing Covid-19 explosion. Otherwise January and February will be an awful mess. Milder temperatures that will allow life to at least partly move to a safer outdoors again won't arrive until March in Tokyo, later in a lot of places.
