Discover Southern Nagano

We have very little #snow in Southern Nagano (Minami Shinshu) and thus have a longer #green #season than the Japanese Northern #Alps. We are #trailbuilding almost all through winter, and are aiming at becoming East Asia’s number one destination for #sustainable #cycling #tourism

Trail building until the shadows fall on Onishi Park. Today with help from a friend and a visitor who spotted us from their field on the other side of Koshibu River.

The first days back in Japan where truly amazing. One of my first duties was to inspect this newly built fliw trail and guide local residents through a test ride.

Before going back to #Japan, I enjoyed a final session of training with @DIMB #IMBA #Germany.

#Trailbuilding in theory and practice with Robert of @Ridetime and @Heumöderntrails in Treuchtlingen, Bavaria, and Sonia of DIMB.

A word from Daniel:
Thanks to all the wonderful participants and the „Coach“ Patrick, who made this an amazing experience.

Mountain biking in Freiburg is a blast, thanks to Mountainbike Freiburg e.V.

Please donate to keep these awesome trails in shape.

Our guide Daniel completed the first module of his Dimb LV1 Mountainbike guide and instructor training.

Our guide got himself a brand new used tent.
A storm proof and seasoned Exped Orion III Extreme.
He did not say what he is planning with it, but it could have something to do with the #Trailcamp in Sedrun Disentis and Just Ride Disentis.

Das ist so ein Käse. In Japan tragen die Menschen seit Jahrzehnten Masken in der Öffentlichkeit, wenn sie erkältet sind und trotzdem haben alle noch funktionierende Immunsysteme.
