This Saturday and Sunday (10th and 11th) I am planning to go down to Oifuto for some training. Unlike last time this won't be a hammerfest but rather just to keep the legs fresh and the blood flowing. Speeds are going to be around 30-35 km/h. Same meeting place as last time, I will be starting at 7:30 and ending at 9.

If anyone is interested in joining me please let me know! If the weather looks bad Friday night then I will cancel.
 
I will be there on the Saturday mate.
 
Aren't there normally lots of idling trucks there on Saturday?
The couple of times I've been there on Saturdays, the air has been none too pleasant.
 
???

Saturday?
You sure you want to do that?
I work Saturday anyway. But I would hasten to recommend Arakawa over Oi on Saturday. Sunday, no problem.
 
Echo the thoughts on Saturdays

Saturday is a normal working day there with trucks everywhere, so best to stay away. Sundays and holidays are clear.

K
 
ditto. i rode there on Saturday once for one lap and went elsewhere. There will be trucks parked in left lane (everywhere) and fast moving truck traffic in second and third lanes. dodging passenger cars/minivans/small trucks on koshu kaido is one thing, but dodging Japan's equivalent of 18 wheelers is quite another.
 
Ahhh I thought the trucks were gone on Saturday as well. In that case, I will be riding around the palace Saturday morning and Oifuto on Sunday! I hope people will join me this weekend!
 
was planning to say I'm in on Saturday but before I posted I went down stairs to eat dinner and on the way back to my room somebody opened there door into my heel and cut it real nice :mad: I'll see how it feels on Friday night and I'll let you know Eric
 
Since you're close to race, I'd suggest Arakawa on Sat. Plenty of 5km options for preogressive intervals and sprint training. Plus my hiki tirres are stashed there as well. Man up.

Was this for me or Daniel, lol!

There are so many options for Saturday but I have to be at work at 10am so I can't really spend 45 minutes commuting each way from the Arakawa. The Palace and Oifuto are within a reasonable distance where I can get in good riding without having to be out the door at 5am.
 
I will be there from about 7 am. I'll be in G.S. Astuto team wear so I should be easy to spot!
 
I might take a few spins around the palace on Saturday morning if it isn't raining ;)
 
Why would I be arrested?
 
Did you get out there this morning? Bit wet.


This on tomorrow? I'm hoping to wake up in time. :)

Whereabouts would you meet at 7:30? (lemme know if you are heading down via kannana....)

:bike:
