Tnrc 2012

Will do Des, got the Japan guidebook on the Kindle too. Thinking of scaling down the ambition in terms of cities vs. pootling about in Tokyo/Kyoto and a quick visit to Osaka. Will read through and ask you for some of your advice again!

Next one on the 23rd will be the final ride of the season: a shorter ride with an extended visit to the pub at the end of the route as a goodbye to TNRC for the year and a wave goodbye to London (and the UK for a while) for me. I'll bring cake!

Good call on Japan - Tokyo & Kyoto could easily keep you going (or drive you mad) for a couple of weeks.

Next one may not be the last ride though - weather is usually all over the place this time of the year, so may put a couple more up if the forecast looks ok. Late in the day though it is, I need to get some more riding in this year. Good thought on E4 Matt - just cut out the second loop.
