Hello everyone! It’s Mai!
Well then, today I’m here with an invitation for a ride. But this isn’t just any ride.
Yes, it’s an invitation to join me in heading to the long-awaited RIDEALIVE 2026 together🏕️
"I’m a little nervous about riding to the venue all by myself."
"I'm not confident I can finish the whole distance."
"I don't have much experience with long-distance rides or touring with gear."
I’m sure there are some of you who feel that way.
If so, why don't we all go together!
With that in mind, I’ve planned a GIRLS RIDE where we can gather as women starting the day before RIDEALIVE to make our way to the venue🚩
The goal this time isn't to ride fast or cover a huge distance.
It’s to make the journey to RIDEALIVE—which might feel a bit intimidating on your own—feel a little more accessible by riding there together.
You don't even have to ride the whole way!
Heading to the RIDEALIVE venue over 1.5 days starting the day before🏄
The ride is scheduled to start early in the morning the day before RIDEALIVE from Circles.
On the first day, we’ll ride about 110km to Hamamatsu and stay overnight along the way.
The following day, we’ll complete the remaining 75km or so to reach the RIDEALIVE venue.
The rough route is planned as follows:
Nagoya → Okazaki → Toyohashi → Hamamatsu → Shimada
And this time, you don't need to ride the entire section from Circles.
We’ll set up meeting points in each area, so please join us from wherever you like, depending on your ability and how far you’d like to ride.
"I want to ride the whole way from Nagoya!" is great, and
"I think I could manage from Toyohashi"
"I only want to ride the final mountain section with everyone"
...are also perfectly fine.
Let’s bring our own "I think I can do this" to the table and head to the venue together!
We’re planning for a very leisurely pace🐌
For this ride, we plan to schedule things based on an average speed of about 10km/h, including break times.
For each meeting point, we will also provide
"We plan to arrive in this area around this time"
as a guideline in advance.
Please choose your preferred meeting point when you sign up, considering your own riding ability.
While we are still coordinating the specific meeting spots and accommodations, we plan to first share the general meeting areas and expected times to gather interest.
Taking breaks along the way, grabbing a bite to eat, and riding through towns you've never been to.
"I might not have gone if I were by myself."
If even one person who feels that way decides to come along, we’ll be happy🥳
We will share details regarding the route, meeting points, and accommodations at a later date.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us via the inquiry form.
Let's consider our abilities and head to RIDEALIVE together!
