Wow, it sure is cold today, isn't it?
But yesterday, although it was a bit windy, it wasn't too cold, and we were able to successfully hold our long-awaited "MTB Meat Meeting."
With participants of all ages and genders, blessed weather, and course conditions that were only slightly wet despite our concerns, the time passed by so peacefully that one might say it was the very definition of a tranquil, uneventful day.
The 26izm @ Asagiri Trail, who let us use their course this time, have created a track that even beginners can enjoy, so you can ride with peace of mind.
In fact, more than half of the participants this time were riding a bike on a mountain for the very first time.
Even so, almost everyone enjoyed themselves with a smile on their face, without even falling over.
At first, everyone went for a group ride together.
Once they got the hang of it, they started taking on challenges at their own levels.
I think the thrill of riding a bike on a mountain comes from that mix of exhilaration, exhaustion, and a little bit of danger.
Speaking of what gets empty after riding a bike, well, naturally, it's your stomach.
Since it's called a "Meat Meeting," it had to be a barbecue, of course.
I can't eat another bite! (Haha)
Children are geniuses at play.
They can turn anything into a toy.
After we were all full, everyone went back to riding.
And that's when the best smiles of the day appeared.
Hnnngh!!!
What a fantastic face.
As long as you have moments like this, everything is great. I think I'll plan another one.
On the way home, they were wiped out from playing, so they ended up like this, naturally ↓ (Haha)
I would like to sincerely thank everyone who participated, 26ism, and Motocross International and Aki Corporation for lending us the demo bikes for this event.
I want to do this again, so I look forward to your continued support.
That's how the MTB Meat Meeting—or "3M ride" for short—came to a close. I definitely want to host it again, so for those who couldn't make it this time, please look forward to the next one.
Well then, that's all for now.
