Hi there! This is Asai reporting back from Enter Zone Outdoor 2024 (E.Z.O for short), held in Sapporo (Ezo)!
I’ve already shared the details before, so if you're curious, be sure to check it out!
The event was a huge success, and so many of you got a chance to try out BEDROCK!
This time, Chan-mai and I infiltrated the River Ride hosted by Sam's Bike!!
Even though we ended up soaking wet, it was a super fun ride with everyone!!
Photos were taken by photographer NB-san.
Thank you so much for the wonderful shots!
Riding in Hokkaido is definitely on another level...
We started by meeting up and chatting about each other's bikes.
And then, some high-quality gravel!!
Riding together, you can't help but end up with a smile on your face.
It was Chan-mai's first time on gravel.
She was having a blast, haha.
Carrying our bikes, we finally headed into the river!
The riverbed was made of solid rock, which was a strange sensation.
I wanted to experience everything directly, so I just laid down on it.
It felt absolutely amazing...
Time for the real deal: serious river play.
There was a spot where you could jump in, so we challenged ourselves to see if we could clear it!!
I messed up and wiped out, haha.
Chan-mai cleared it with her trademark boldness!
Ending with a toast!
Finally, thanks to a thoughtful gesture by Sarai-san from Sam's Bike, we toasted with non-alcoholic beer.
A post-ride toast is always something special.
In closing
Thank you for planning such a wonderful ride!
And thank you to everyone who rode with us!
I look forward to seeing you all again next year!! 💪
