Or rather, your site was introduced to me by one of your more laconic riders. I've lived in Japan for more than half my life, and used to own a Giant "cross bike," aka hybrid. It got trashed by the elements several years ago, and I'm picking up another new Giant (Escape RX-3) this week in Hachioji, thus setting the scene for my first ride in 4 years, 24km from Hachioji on Nat'l Highway 20 (Kohshuu Kaidoh) over the sagging shoulder of Mt. Takao at Ohtarumi tohge, and down into Sagamiko and Fujino, where I live. I did the same interesting trek with my first bike some 15 years ago, but since I now have early stage 2 Parkinson's, it may turn out to be interesting in the sense of the Chinese curse ("may you live in interesting times") as well.
If it works out, I'll try to provide commentary later.
Best wishes!
