Studio Velo and RAID’s expeditionary force invite you to join them on a very special Gravel Escape comprised of training, riding and racing some of the very best gravel routes in the Colorado Rockies! Starting in world-famous Aspen, this trip will begin with several days of acclimatizing, exceptional mixed-terrain riding and delicious food before transferring to Steamboat Springs, the home of Moots Cycles, for further preparation, great riding and racing SBT GRVL.
No place rivals Japan when it comes to providing an abundance of incredible experiences in a small amount of space. We’re offering a unique departure to explore Japan’s longest cycle friendly bicycle bridge system in the world, the Shimanami Kaido. Followed by a remote ride through the foothills into Hiroshima with a visit to the Peace Memorial-a World Heritage Site.
The remainder of our trip sees us travelling further south by the high-speed Shinkansen train to the third largest island of Japan-Kyushu. A mountainous region known for its soaring volcanic peaks, steaming hot springs, peaceful beaches and slow-paced living. We will further explore this amazing island by bike, staying in traditional ryokan inns along the way.
