Tour de Tama-ko

Here's a short description of the impromptu "Tour de Tama-ko" that took place on April 9, 2006.

Participants:

Sora-san
Maiko-san
Thomas

Summary:

Sora-san and I met up at 9.30am in Shinjuku West Exit, taking Ome Kaido to Lake Tama where we met up with Maiko-san around 11.30am. After having circled Lake Tama we took the Tamako cycling Road to Koganei Park. "Cycling road" is a very enthusiastic and perhaps misleading description. The trail is dotted with zillions of obstacles, barriers, pedestrians, pets and kids, quite a challenge!

We enjoyed a sakura matsuri in Koganei Park, indulging in typical matsuri food and beer.

My specs for that day:

Distance 108,42 km
Av 21,7
Mx 52,8
Odo 1709,5
Time 4:59'11

What a lovely ride. A heartful thanks to all participants! Pics can be found in the gallery.

Hi,

thanks Maiko-san and Thomas-san for the ride.


I don't forget the 3 girls, wearing bike jersey, running on foot (not on bike) along the "Cycling Road".
At first I saw them, I thought something wrong, "Why bikers are running without bike?". Because I think we "cyclists" dislike not on the bike running.

After Maiko-san contacted with them, I got it. They were triathletes.
How hard their exercise are!
