Ah, bugger. I'm never any good at these guestimates. If only @Yamabushi hadn't been killed in that freak razor blade sharpnening accident, he would have still been around to help me out with a rough time. Erm. I reckon if we hit an average of around 26kph, that should put us at 4hours of riding time, plus about 1 hour of stops so we are looking at being back in Sakado around 12.30, give or take an hour or so.

I'll be there. 12:30 sounds about right, depending on the day's selfie quota.

Cool. This is gonna be more of an "easing back into cycling" kinda ride (I managed to pull my calf so I can't run at the moment) so nothing majorly fast. But if you want to do all the pulling, I'm sure we will happily sit in your slipstream

You should have seen him last week, he was huffin' and puffin' all over the place... probably had more to do with his aids outbrake than being out of shape.
Still it's like seeing an albino rhino or something, extremely rare

I always bite my tongue and say nothing when you write "breaks" instead of "brakes". And now, unbelievably, you've finally put "brake" when it should be "break". You are testing me to my limit, mister.You should have seen him last week, he was huffin' and puffin' all over the place... probably had more to do with his aids outbrake than being out of shape.

Very enjoyable ride out to the lower mountains around Tokigawa and Ogose. Great to have @theBlob out, and boy was he flyin'. It was also a very nice surprise to find @Aron B waiting at the Spaceship at 7:30. Can't say I was too pleased that @Andy in Tokyo turned up though .
No real dramas although Aron did manage to have a blowout during a descent.
Unlike last week, I wasn't coughing up my lungs on this ride but it was very evident that a lot of conditioning in the coming months is needed. I have mainly switched over to running during the winter months and my legs can certainly feel that switch. It was also nice to be back home nice and early. Same again for next weekend me thinks.
No selfies this week as I was shooting with a Voigtlander film camera. I need to dig out my developing chemicals and turn the lights off.

I felt pretty shoddy as well! Thanks for joining me on the ride back though! It always helps to have some support for the long river sections!
