Arakawa Cyclo-Camping with Mike!!

 

Me and UK Mike at long last went on our first cyclo-camping trip!  It was an over 100 mile journey round trip heading first north along the Arakawa River into Saitama Prefecture, then back down the same path on the return.  In between we saw the surprising beauty of the Saitama countryside, along with motocross racing, a crazy bird, and a jazz cafe.

 

 

 

 

First ride with Mike to SeaSide Park!!

Distance: 41.0 miles

Time in motion: 3 hours 12 minutes 50 seconds

Average speed: 12.7 mph

I did this ride a few weeks earlier, solo.  It was my great pleasure to make it the debut ride for my long-time friend in Japan, Mike Grist.  Read his report of the ride HERE.

Tour de la Pink 2008!

 

About 30 cyclists from the Tokyo Cycling Club met at Nakano station at 10am in the morning and begin an all-day ride. We first rode down a street under a canopy of cherry blossoms, a truly beautiful scene.

We next visited Koishikawa Korakuen park and from there went to the Imperial Palace and then Yasokuni Shrine.
