Shami from Kamiuma Store here!<\/p>\n

It may be a bit early, but I would like to reflect on my rides I did this year.\u00a0 I have a feeling that I have cycled more compared to any other years in the past. Definitely cycled a bit far out at least once a month or so.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I still remember this climb.<\/p>\n

We were on the way to “Rihei-Jaya Campsite”, which was located just at the end of this hill. Although the climb was so brutal, the campsite was top class, came with a marvelous tent sauna experience. Hoping to visit there again…<\/p>\n

“Awashima Muscle Club”<\/p>\n

When I first heard it, I remember thinking what on earth this was all about.<\/p>\n

After seeing them two on the photo above going in and out the gym on Awashima street, everything made total sense!<\/p>\n

Their workouts are definitely paying off on their rides, they have total control with their bikes! Riding with them even made me feel stronger too somehow.<\/p>\n

\nAnd then there was a ride with Sera-kun the Skater. This wasn’t the first ride actually, we did a ride together before that, and that’s how we met. We were also very fortunate enough to have him on one of our Youtube videos!<\/p>\n

His athleticism is just out of this world, so when he says “I still need to get used to this new bike”, that’s just not true. I felt so jealous how quickly he adapted to his new Singular Gryphon. There’s no doubt that the bike those kinda people ride is always so sick. It moves me when I see a bike that’s been ridden to its limits like his.<\/p>\n

\nHave to also talk about Sub’s Alumalith! We rode together for his shakedown ride. “This is the best performing bike ever!” he said. Well, he look quite tough on road not gonna lie!<\/p>\n

When I was looking back at those photos, I found this photo of Clint, and I love it.<\/p>\n

So much going on in this one moment. Why is he the only one so shining with light, as if he’s on the spotlight? He is so perfectly looking at the camera, with a slightly exhausted expression on his face… How can we not adore him??<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My first ferry rinko and airplane rinko at this year’s Swift Campout (Please have a look at our spacial page<\/a> too!) was so refreshing and exciting. We were on the ferry for 10 hrs, and I remember all the other members went to sleep a lot earlier then I expected, so I went for a short expedition around the ship alone. That was good fun!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And the most recent ride I went to was GRINDURO at Hakuba.<\/p>\n

Honestly, the race was so brutal, but it was a good experience no matter what. If you are interested even a tiny bit, gotta sign up for the next one!<\/p>\n

I end up hitting my rim so hard to the ground whilst on a downhill, even a sealant could not hold the wound on the tire. The photo is me fitting a tube, splashing sealant everywhere. To all members who rode with me, sorry for being such a big burden!<\/p>\n
