Our recent ride event, Ride to keep riding, concluded safely!
Thank you to everyone who participated.
The atmosphere was relaxed from start to finish—chatting while we pedaled at a leisurely pace, with only the occasional short burst of breath.
There really is something special about riding together.
We had newcomers and women join us, and a variety of bikes—from gravel and mountain bikes to even a road bike or two, haha.
It was striking to see everyone enjoying the same path in their own unique way.
It also reaffirmed just how wonderful this route is.
The scenery, the atmosphere—it’s truly a joy to ride through.
It’s a place that makes you naturally want to return.
This event was held in the form of a fundraiser, and I want to thank everyone for their cooperation.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Jinrikisha team for their daily maintenance of these trails, and for kindly granting us permission to hold this event.
An environment where we can ride with such peace of mind is not something to be taken for granted.
It reminded me that today’s ride was only possible because of their ongoing dedication.
And from here, we move forward, one step at a time.
Beyond just riding, I want to find ways to get more deeply involved with this trail.
Whether it’s grass cutting or other maintenance work, I’d like to find sustainable ways to get hands-on and contribute.
While we don't have concrete plans or dates yet, this ride made me feel the real potential for doing so.
Beyond sharing the joy of riding, I hope we can work together to help preserve these places for the future.
That is the path I hope we can keep building.
I’m sure the next ride will be just as wonderful.
Let's ride together again.
