800km and 10,000 meters of climbing over the most deliciously lovely roads from the capital of this endlessly intriguing nation, all the all the way the the instagram capital of the world (should truly be an official title) – Kyoto – made for great cycling, fantastic stuffing of the faces, and a very popular video!

I didn’t have great hopes for this video, as our previous SEVEN Gravel Race video gained 1,500 views. However, it’s great to get more eyes on the work we are doing at KOJO Collective, our adventure cycling tour company, which helps us spread the word.

Our schedule for 2026 is up on our site, with tours in Japan, Australia, Vietnam, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia!
