Starting this thread for those living in West Tokyo and interested in doing some early morning pre-work training in the Tama hills (in Kanagawa just across the river) on Tuesdays. I'll be posting and riding regularly, so should @wexford when he gets the chance, and so should anyone else looking for a bit of a jump-start to beat the post-Monday, pre-Wednesday, Tuesday morning blues.
See the end of this thread for updates.
We meet Tuesdays at 5:30 under the bridge here, across the river from Futako-Tamagawa station, and finish in the same place by 7:15. Rides hold 30+ kmph on the flat, and hit the hills hard. If you are new to the group, feel free to draft others on the flats to conserve energy for the hills. Climbs will be WATT (wait at the top) within reason, considering most of us have families and money-making ventures to take care of. Routes do vary week-to-week to keep the climbs fresh and the views interesting. Example are:
Easygoing river hammer route
Yomiuri Land repeats optional route
Sick in the mouth route
