Just wanted to introduce and let people know I would like to do some road riding with some groups. I have been here for a while at Zama Base near Machida, but never had any cold weather gear. Got some today and took it for a spin and wow, it works, I am ready to ride!
I am ancient in cyclist-years, but have a Panasonic road bike (ancient also) with Ultegra components, and swapped the frame for a generic carbon frame a few years ago. I would say it rolls pretty fast... Would like to do 25-75 k rides in Yokohama-Machida-Atsugi area on weekends. I am not snobby about who I ride with, but prefer a group that at least knows basics of pulling and drafting and not crashing , ya know, basic group riding stuff.
This is my first time on the BBS and it looks like a great groups of people. I really enjoy riding in Japan, it's so much more cyclist-friendly than the US! If anyone is interested and can tolerate me falling behind in the hills for a while until I get into better shape, I'd like to meet some people and get out on the road!
