1)”From Mitaka to Koganei Park, cycling along the cycling route to Tama Lake”
(Participation fee 1,000 yen) (Easy course) (Canceled in case of rain)
★Bicycle rental reservation required
We’ll have a relaxing bike ride from JR Mitaka Station, have a picnic at Koganei Park, and enjoy the fresh greenery all the way to Tama Lake along the cycling route. How about feeling the spring breeze while enjoying a fun cycling trip? We might even get a chance to see the late-blooming cherry blossoms.
★For those who need a bicycle rental (Reservation required)
Please make a reservation with Miki at seitansai1335@yahoo.co.jp by 4 pm on April 4 (Thursday). We will make a group, bicycle rental reservation with the Suzukake Bicycle rental place.
Those who make a bicycle reservation will gather at 9:30 at the south exit plaza of Mitaka Station (near the bridge over the Tamagawa Josui). The staff will be waiting at the south exit plaza, and we will head to the bicycle parking lot together from there.
★For those participating with their own bicycles
Gather at 10:00 at the south exit plaza of Mitaka Station.
Route: Mitaka Station → Koganei Park → Tama Lake → Inokashira Park (Goal, with planned arrival at 15:00)
After explaining the course at 10:00, we will start to ride. Please bring lunch, drinks, vinyl sheets (and frisbees, balls, or whatever you like). You can also buy food and drinks along the way. We recommend wearing helmets for cyclists.
Our final destination will be Inokashira Park, but after that (if the late-blooming cherry blossoms are still in bloom), let’s enjoy a party (while cherry blossom viewing). Basically, people are free to go home anytime (before, during, or after the park party).
