One week until the 11th Anniversary Ride. The three of us—JUS from the Team Mountain Bike, and sphere painter Shosei—have organized "Tomoda Gakuen in GONZO PARK."
GONZO PARK, an off-road cycling park where you can enjoy mountain bikes and BMX, is a facility dedicated to cycling that we use regularly. Located in Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture, just a short distance from Nagoya, we want everyone to come and ride with us!
We have often heard in the shop that people want to visit GONZO PARK, or that they have been there before but didn't know how to ride properly, which had been weighing on our minds. Then we finally hit on something simple: why don't we just ride there together with all of you on the occasion of our 11th anniversary! That's how we planned this ride.
GONZO PARK has a course called a pump track with man-made rollers, and we want you to experience the basic technique of "pushing," which allows you to propel the bike without pedaling. It might not be an essential skill for riding a bike, but it's a technique that will broaden your range of bike handling.
Since the three of us found that riding mountain bikes became much more fun after learning how to "push," we really want you to learn it too! We're so excited that we're worried about how we'll get through the next week.
Writing about technical things might make it sound intimidating, but this is a technique you can learn while having a great time riding together. Our team of instructors will provide careful guidance, so don't worry if you have no experience!
Details are as follows.
Date and Time
Sunday, December 3rd, meet on-site at 11:00 AM
Cost
We apologize, there is a correction.
At-cost (Facility usage fee: ¥2,000 for men, ¥1,000 for women)
What to Bring
Helmet, gloves, and shoes suitable for exercise
There is no capacity limit, but since the number of rental bikes is limited, we ask that everyone take turns.
We have prepared a novelty item exclusively for participants of Tomoda Gakuen, so you won't want to miss out on that!
We look forward to seeing you at GONZO PARK on December 3rd. Let's have fun together!
