I'm setting up a social ride to catch the last hour or so of the 3-hour Enduro on Sunday.

Two departure points:

08.00-sharp Leave from in front of the Grand Hyatt (map link) at Roppongi Hills, led by James sw08023jp{at}yahoo.co.jp o9o-2874-4848, ride 15 km to link up with...

09.00-ish Leave from under the railway bridge (map link) on the Kawasaki side of Futago-bashi, led by Mike mike2{at}halffastcycling.com o8o-34o3-o239. Will wait here for James' group to arrive, or for 09.00, whichever is later, then go.

We will then ride 25 km down the Tamagawa and through Kawasaki port area to the race venue (map link). The race finishes at 11.30 so we should catch the last hour. Bring whistles, megaphones, vuvuzelas, taiko etc. to hurl abuse… no… encouragement at the exhausted riders. Once things calm down we will then leave and aim to meet up with another ride group at Jonanjima Seaside Park (map link) for a picnic. That leg is around 20 km.

With the 15 km ride back to Roppongi Hills, the total for the full loop should be around 75 km.

Sound like fun?

The cycle race in Kawasaki port that we were going to drop in on has been cancelled due to strong winds.

With no race happening there is no point riding to Ogi-shima - it's just an oil terminal and awkward to get to.

HOWEVER the two rides will still go ahead, and we will try to make them join up, or not. We'll have to see how it works out and what people want to do.
 
Great turn out of supporters. Doubled the pain of the race cancellation when I saw how many had come. However enjoyed the 80km ride, and the lunchtime beer at Jonan Jima, with them before heading back to Tokyo
