Hi all,
I've recently moved to Tokyo. I brought my MTB with me along with some optimism that there will trails somewhere within reasonable distance of one of the largest cities to ever exist. I was also hoping that there might be some like-minded individuals who might be able to show me around (or impart some local knowledge). I hail from Canberra, Australia where there are several amazing trails in and around the 'city', so I've been a bit spoilt for choice until now.
I'm not a cross-country race snake nor a downhill demon - somewhere in between (read: not very fit or capable). I can only ride on the occasional weekend (I've got daddy duties). But if anybody can show me the trails or suggest the best place to start, I'd be very grateful. I read somewhere that there were trails around Kamakura, but you have to be careful not to go on some of the trails. I've also read that some of the ski fields open for MTBers in the summer.
I live in Minato-ku and have access to a car. Although, of course, I'm more than happy to use the wonderful public transport system here.
Thanks!
