The Japanese Odyssey

An ultracycling adventure across Japan

Four pioneers

The first Japanese Odyssey was launched with minimal communication. We selected four checkpoints, and the route was going to take the riders from Sapporo to Kagoshima, crossing all Japan, North to South.
We hadn’t any partners at the time and counted on word of mouth to get our event noticed.
Four pioneers answered our call, an so went our first foray into ultradistance riding.
