Two and a half months have passed since our late-summer adventure.
Riding our bikes all day, heading toward a destination to meet up with everyone, sharing a meal at night, and camping together. It is a very simple way to have fun, but what truly made those two days so rich was, without a doubt, the individual drive of every single participant.
When you pushed down hard on the pedals to conquer that final hill and moved forward, it was your own strength, along with the support of the companions around you, that carried you through. I believe everyone felt a true sense of accomplishment.
Are you all still having adventures?
For those of you who are still adventuring as always, those who had your sense of adventure ignited since that day, and for the circles of people growing from new encounters sparked in that place.
When people choose a vehicle powered by their own human effort like a bicycle, the path they forge with their own strength leads to new encounters, wider worlds than they’ve ever known, and fresh discoveries. These are things that should never be easily lost. And they should make our lives richer and richer.
Believing that this world will continue to become a richer and more wonderful place, let’s keep moving forward together.

Our memories from this summer. The RIDEALIVE 2014 movie, directed by Ryota Kenmochi of SimWorks, is complete. Even though it has been two and a half months, the memories come rushing back as if it were just yesterday. At the same time, it makes me strongly want to meet you all again somewhere next year.
See you guys next year!!
