On May 9th, Tani and Wentz joined Aze at Blue Lug Kagoshima to hold a Rivendell Owners Meet to thank the Kagoshima Rivendell owners, and to provide a day for locals to get to know more about Rivendell bikes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Despite the event taking place in far south of Japan, people from all over Japan gathered to celebrate their favorite bicycle brand.<\/p>\n

Here is the recap of the day…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

30 plus Rivendell owners boarded the ferry with their bikes and headed to Sakurajima.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sakurajima is known as the most active volcano. You could see the smoke coming out from the mountain in the back ground.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Iwasaki-san from Rock Point Coffee<\/a> provided coffee for the guests. He has a cool edit of the day on his Instagram, so check it out!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That is Hayasaki-san from Tembea<\/a>, a Japanese bag brand and Kojima-san from Americana<\/a>, a Japanese clothing brand who we are both friends and business partners with, posing for the shot. They are both proud Rivendell owners built by Tani!<\/p>\n

We carry Tembea goods at Blue Lug<\/a> and Americana clothes at Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Other than the epic ride, we also did a workshop at the shop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tani worked on the famous Grant wraps for the guests.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Delicious meals were also provided by Tatsuno-Otoshigo.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was another fun workshop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Perhaps the first Yellow0lley in Japan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone who showed up! We really had an awesome time!<\/p>\n
