Last weekend, two of our teammates went out to Dash Point in Federal Way to roll through a ton of mud. It was slow going and there were some slick corners that got quite a few people. Heather and Coral managed to stay upright, with a few unclip moments. The post race cleanup was fun 🤩 Thanks to for the photos, you made us look faster than we felt 😂
On to 360 tomorrow!

Last Saturday, three of our teammates journeyed out to Swan Creek in Tacoma to race XC mountain bikes. It was surprisingly warm and rain free for a January race, there was enough mud to be shared though! Rubber side stayed down and there were smiles all around
Shoutout to .lap.bike for all their hard work, always fun racing these events! AND a huge thank you to for capturing the action!!

Hello
We are excited to announce that our bookings for the spring and fall 2026 season are now open.

Our 2025 cycling tour has received great reviews from many customers.
If you're thinking about traveling to Japan, please join us.
Embark on a journey to discover the "heart" of Japan, a place you can't reach by train or bus. Traditional satoyama landscapes, the sacred atmosphere of shrines, and warm interactions with local people. Discover the real Japan, only seen at the speed of a bicycle. Experience the unique winds and sounds of this land, unseen in guidebooks. We design stories that are etched into your life, not just "transportation." No more simply traveling to your destination. By bicycle, you can easily stop off at hidden backstreet cafes not found in guidebooks. Experience breathtaking views only known to locals and heartwarming interactions. Why not take a trip on your next day off and discover a new side of yourself?
We have also partnered with Samurai Matcha who has vlogged his experience on our spring tour in 2024: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjbBkXl7sns&t=3s.

On Saturday, Joy led 7 other teammates on a mountain bike ride at Swan Creek trails in anticipation of the first WSMTB .lap.bike XC race. We pre-rode the course and sessioned some sections of trail. Rubber side stayed down and our smiles grew bigger through those fun flow sections 🙃
It was so lovely to see a whole crew of trail workers out, we really appreciate the hard work to make the trails perfect for racing 😀

On the last post, we over promised and under delivered on the cx unicycle photos. Here’s a post dedicated to our president, who has taken an interest in one wheeled fun. She has been racing her uni after her two wheeled races! Please enjoy 😊

What a finale MFG #6 Woodland Park was yesterday!
We were so grateful to have the team tent when the mid November PNW rain hit in the morning. Despite the imminent rain, 15 team members showed up to race in the mud in full, bright pink, force! There was much laughter and everyone had the biggest smiles 😊
Swipe to the end for an iconic photo of our president racing in the unicycle category 🎉

Spooky 👻 season may be behind us, but we’re still a-maized 🌽 by our first-ever CX race through a corn maze!
From pumpkin 🎃 finish lines to mud pits that were truly un-BOO-lievable, the crew had a gourd time at Swan Trails Farm for the 2nd to last race of the season, put on by .
We came for the racing, stayed for the pumpkins, and left ear-resistibly muddy 😆 thank you to for the awesome photos 📸
We’re expecting another good SWR turnout tomorrow at Frontier Park for the race. Come say hi!
