This is for anyone who wants to ride all the way out, but doesn't want to ride all the way back.
In other words, what to do with your bike-bag (rinko-bukuro), if we're starting in one place, and finishing in another?
How about this? For those riding out along Tamagawa – which means most people coming from east of Fuchu – we can continue up to Haijima, where the party will be, and drop off any luggage in the coin-lockers there.
*Note: This only adds 12-13km to the total distance, so it's not really that far out of the way. Here's the map:

>Mike: If you want to use your "heavy-duty" bike bag, then you might be better off catching the train to Haijima, instead of Takao. We'll be leaving Haijima at 9:45 at the latest.
If you're interested, this is where we'll be:
7:00 – Kameido (Meiji-dori & Rte.14).
7:30 – Shinjuku Station (New South Exit, on Rte.20).
8:30 – Tsurukawa Road (Rte.19 & Tamagawa CR [See attached map, starting point]).
9:30-9:45 – Haijima Station.
10:25 – Takao Station.
Please let me know if this is what you want to do. Otherwise, I can sleep in an extra 30 minutes, and just ride straight to Takao without going past Haijima.
Rubber Down!

I will be riding out all the way ..... anyone want to meet at the Tamagawara Bashi?
Sure, let's meet there at 9am, so we have time to rest at Takao before continuing at 10:30.
Others welcome to join.
Cheers, Ludwig
Thanks, Philip, Peter and Aaron for joining....huge gathering of the clans !!
* Aaron, I added + Party tentatively...in case there are dotakyans ...
* People who think they might have to drop out for whatever reason , please let me know so as much as possible by noon today. Thanks! (dotakyan people will be asked to pay me on a later date, sorry...)
* To be able to focus on the 2 races and emerge victorious , I would like to collect each person's party fee (5,000 yen) before we tear up the road, i.e. @ 10:30 at the Takao Seven-Eleven rendezvous. Please bring along 5,000 yen bills as much as possible...this will make things a bit easier. Thanks!!

Thankfully, the two-hour nomihodai session is not limited to alcohol alone...one may also enjoy as many soft drinks as one can drink....:heyhey:
After gradual recovery followed by a very bad crash in August (lost a lot of skin and damaged a lot of muscle - was wrapped up like a mummy for weeks) and another round of the bends in January, I am finally on the road to recovery???
Last time I said "I'm back" was a year ago in Chiba. That ride caused a relapse of the bends that had me in pain for months.
