KIWL'S 2018 500km cycle ride REVIEW
37 cyclists completed a challenging 500km ride from Kinugawa Onsen to Ichinoseki. Despite some inclement weather, and a slippery descent from Mount Bandai, they arrived safely at a care home in Ichinoseki. The euphoria of completing the challenge and the emotion of meeting the kids, created lifelong memories for all. If you can spare 6 minutes, please enjoy our 2018 official video courtesy of Custom Media. Are you up for a challenge? Why not join next year's ride, and get fit and give back? Anyone can do it if they train adequately. Get in touch and become a Knight or Knightess!
