Hi everyone! I'm Scott, a bicycle commuter from Machida. I've only been riding my bike to work for 5 or 6 months, but the trip is 10.3km each way, so when it doesn't rain, I can get in maybe 100km per week. I'm from San Diego, but I've been in the kanto area for almost 7 years now. I used to do a fair bit of motorcycle touring in Japan but I sold my bike shortly after the earthquake.
Can anyone recommend a decent TT route near Machida? The route to work is littered with red lights and traffic jams, so not great for judging progress.
My pace varies between 20 and 30 kph depending on traffic, so I'm no racer, but I'd sure like to be faster. I'm riding a CX bike because I thought it would be cool for commuting. It's fine, but the knobby tires might not be the best road tool.
Anyway, I'd love to hear of any decent routes near Machida.
Cheers
