Eroica Japan's promotion is going on here in Japan.

Yesterday Mr. Eguchi and Mr. Favaro, the two main personaities of the Eroica Japan 2024's committee have been interviewed at probably the biggest Radio in the area. Radio Voice Cue, based in Mishima City, the shinkansen stop near the Izu Peninsula, where all the participants that will come by train will get off to join Eroica Japan.

In 45 minutes they expained the host speakers the history of the event and the reasons of its success all over the world.

It was really interesting for me too, to listen to them and to be for the first time at a live radio event.

 

We as Nagaoka RMC were present as we, together with Mapei, will sponsor this event and me personally, as Italian, will try to give the best help I can to the participants during the event in May, even if I'm not a bycicle expert at all.

One of the reasons is that I'm born and raised in Venezia (Venice), where riding a bike is prohibited by law. Sometimes some turists ride bycicles though its narrow streets, without knowing that they're risking a fine from the local police. Children are not allowed too, even if rules are not as strict as for the adults.

So the only way for us would be to learn to ride while on vacation somewhere else, in the countryside for example.

Honestly this is maybe the first time that I really feel bad for not being able to ride well and to be able to participate to this great ride around our beloved Izu Peninsula.

We are all looking forward to this big event, sure that it will be a success thrugh the years, as it is in my homecountry Italia!
