At Circles, we are working to increase the number of female cyclists by supporting and encouraging women through various approaches, such as ride events like "MAAP RIDE" and "GIRLS RIDEALIVE," as well as workshops like "FIX LIKE COOK."
Starting with the first-ever GIRLS RIDEALIVE in Hokkaido held this year, we have been hosting GIRLS RIDE.
This time, we have prepared a route where you can enjoy saddle talk while taking in the autumn scenery as the leaves begin to turn vibrant colors earlier than usual.
Also, the nutrition bars by Acchan, which were very well-received at the last GIRLS RIDE, will now be a staple for future GIRLS RIDE events! These snacks are the result of Acchan's trial and error, bringing her passion to life. She says she’s making sure they not only look great but are delicious, so please look forward to those as well.

Of course, I, Aya, will be attending the ride.
I know that when there are many men around, it’s easy to feel a bit self-conscious. I feel the same way myself, and I know how great it is to ride with other women. I really want to build a community for women here in Nagoya, so I would be delighted if all you ladies could join us! I look forward to seeing you all there!
