After spending two months in the German diaspora, I will fly back to Japan on July 10th/11th to pack all our worldly goods (except my family) into a container which will be shipped to Germany in due course. Then, the plane for Germany leaves on July 16th and that might be the last time I will come and leave Japan for a longer time. I will be fully busy with rejoining my family, do last minute shopping, meet friends, organize paperwork and removal preps ……..
Naturally I will also want to escape from all of this and it would be wonderful if we can organize a bike ride sometime between July 13th and 15th most likely. I have spoken with Ludwig already and I might be able to put my hands on his cyclo cross for a ride with him. I would like to do one of the nicer mountain climbs I have some nostalgic feelings for, perhaps Matushime, Yabitsu, Tsuru/Tawa or Gando or O-Toge, perhaps Yanagizawa or Doshi-Michi.
If you guys are out there and not vacationing in Europe or elsewhere, please let me know.

Hi Michael!! I bet you must be extremely busy with all the moving and removing…Unfortunately, I cannot take any vacation during this period…too bad it is not a weekend; would have loved to ride with you one more time!!!I wish you a great time and smooth & accident-free house-moving!
Unfortunately, Thursday has now become completely impossible due to many important work meetings. Wednesday could work if I can be back for an important dinner appointment. Small chance I could make Monday work.
