January is already halfway over, isn't it?
Are you having a fun January?
From the recent CX at Aichi Bokujo to just chilling in the city,
January has been packed with all sorts of content, including the holidays.
As for me, I kicked off the year with some hard riding during the New Year's holidays while on a "training camp" in my hometown of Kochi.
I couldn't make it to the Tokai CX at Aichi Bokujo, but I'm hoping to race in some CX next year.
Now, as the title suggests, I will be taking three days off next week.
This is because, just like last year, we will be heading off on our Circles company retreat.
I sincerely apologize to anyone planning to visit the shop, but we will be closed for both our physical store and Web Shop during the dates below.
The various shops in the Circles group will also be closed during this time.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
For our retreat, we’ll be heading to Izu and staying at LODGE MONDO again, just like last year, and I’m already looking forward to it.
I’d love to say Join Us!! to all of you as well, but let’s save that for our summer event.
Aya Akamatsu Cyclocross World Championship Send-off Party
Date & Time: January 17 (Fri) from 19:00
Location: Hedgehog Diner @hedgehogdiner
☆Admission is free; drinks will be cash-on-delivery.
Everyone is welcome, so please feel free to join us!
Also, on the evening of the day after tomorrow, Friday, January 17th, we are holding a send-off party for Aya Akamatsu, who has been selected to represent Japan at the Cyclocross World Championships! Aya has been training hard over the holidays and has had a race since the new year, so she's feeling a bit under the weather, but I'm sure she’ll give it her all when it counts! We want to send her off with a smile, so even though it’s a weeknight, please do come by!
Now, let's head into the second half of January.
Let’s enjoy it to the fullest to ensure we get off to a brilliant start for the year!!
