How did everyone spend their extra-long 10-day Golden Week holiday? Circles had a staff-organized ride, but where did you all go to have fun?
Bikelore season is here
Well, now that GW is over, the Bikelore event I've been looking forward to is coming up.
Hakushu no Mori Bikelore 5, held again this year at the Hakushu Ojira no Mori Meisui Park "Verga" in Yamanashi Prefecture on May 25th-26th (Sat, Sun), is a bicycle-centric outdoor event set in a beautiful location with forests and rivers.
Bikelore is held in various places like Saitama, Matsuyama, and Osaka, but among them, this Hakushu no Mori Bikelore is the one I look forward to every year.
What kind of event is Hakushu no Mori Bikelore?
While it is a cyclocross event on dirt loops, it's not just your typical speed-focused race; it’s a unique event that truly pursues how to have fun using bicycles. The atmosphere is absolutely amazing, not just for the riders, but for the audience cheering on the sidelines who join in the fun.
There are many mysterious races—from trying to summon UFOs to races with a camo-clothing dress code—and a major feature is the variety of "bicycle + alpha" activities that Circles loves, including hiking by Great Cossy Mountain, tent saunas, trail running by Run boys! Run girls!, and bouldering, among many others.
Everyone is going, of course!
Race entries and accommodation bookings are already open. The night camping is so much fun, too. You should do whatever it takes to attend!
For more details, visit the Bikelore website (Advance race entry is open until Tuesday, May 14th!)

Circles will be there too, of course!
Well, we will be setting up shop again this year as Circles & SimWorks.
At the booth, we hope to showcase our popular RAL meets DEEPER’S WEAR High Kick Riding Jeans and Loader Series, as well as Bedrock sandals, which are excellent for summer as well as for dealing with the rainy season.
From SimWorks, we plan to highlight the newly released Turtle Bell and Outer Shell Adventure gear, among other items.
Please make sure to stop by the Circles and SimWorks booths between races or while watching the event.

We also offer Hakushu delivery for WEB SHOP orders
Just like last year, we will be able to hand over items purchased through the Circles WEB SHOP at the event site, so please take advantage of this.

Once Bikelore is over, the Mori, Michi, Ichiba festival awaits the following week!
It's the perfect season for outdoor fun—neither too hot nor too cold. Let's all get ready to play and welcome the weekend!!
