If the furthest you've ridden is 80km and you have to be back by 1pm, I would probably give this one a miss if I were you. From the spaceship to the top of Shiraishi it's probably around 3 to 3.5 hours , then about 3 back to the spaceship. Plus some quick breaks and I don't think you would get back in time for your in-laws.
Shiraishi return is probably around 120km. Would be a shame to miss it as it looks like it'll be a good one.
I really don't know how fit you are but if you can comfortably hold 38kph with no wind by yourself then you should be ok to get there and back.
second that and another vote for the bamboo alley side. that road should never have been a two way street!The road is a real mess of potholes and insane drivers.
I can see already it's gonna be a hammerfest and heart zones outta window...After 15 years of cycling, I had finally discovered "Heart-rate zones", so I did Zone-2 (ie. Very easy pedaling) all the way up the river. There's only about a 4km/h difference between going easy and going hard anyway, and I'd rather save my legs for the actual climbs.
I agree. Bamboo alley adds about 5 mins to the route but it's far safer and more enjoyable. I hate that stretch of road.second that and another vote for the bamboo alley side. that road should never have been a two way street!

I don't wear a heart rate monitor so anything is gameI can see already it's gonna be a hammerfest and heart zones outta window...
Thanks @leicaman, I'm not quite at 38 kph with no wind. Any suggestions for a few hours of hills accessible off Arakawa or North/East Tokyo?
