Coast to Coast Bicycle Challenge - October 10-11

A note from The Three Amigos:

The next Japan C2C is coming up and we are excited.

This two-day ride is ideal for the entry level cyclist as well as the experienced cyclist who desires a leisurely ride.


The ride will begin at Nagoya Port and end at Tsuruga port where we will have a celebratory meal before catching the train back.  The ride will be partially supported as we will have a car accompanying us to carry most of your luggage.  However every rider will be expected to have what he or she needs for the ride itself.  Please see the list below.

If there is enough interest we may also consider having a group start in Kansai, and we will all rendezvous at our accommodation in Nagahama on Lake Biwa.

To cover administrative costs and support vehicle with a driver, there will be a 10,000 yen non refundable registration fee which needs to be paid by Sept 30th.  This event is in aid of needy families and we encourage everyone to use this adventure to raise as much money as possible for those who are less fortunate than ourselves.  HOPE International Development Agency can help you by providing you a pledge page on the HOPE Global Challenge Website where you can direct sponsors.  On the registration form you will see various targets and projects you can raise funds for.

We hope you can join us.  Register Now!
