KimRide 2026 Autumn (キムライド2026秋)

Join the exciting "Kimura Ride" cycling event, set to take place on November 15, 2026, at Setouchi Cycle Stay Hiroshima Umiage. This autumn edition offers four distinct routes catering to various skill levels and interests.
The A Course (90km) is a challenging route that features an ascent up the Imbe Falls hill climb followed by a scenic tour around a dam lake. Cyclists will enjoy breathtaking views of the Seto Inland Sea while tackling steep climbs and descents, with support from local champion Hideko Shiraishi.
For those seeking a slightly easier but still rewarding experience, the B Speed Course (73km) offers similar terrain to A but over a shorter distance, making it more manageable for intermediate riders. This route also includes an ascent of Imbe Falls before descending towards the coast.
The B Slow Course (56km), designed for those who prefer less climbing, takes cyclists through flatter stretches with plenty of time to appreciate Seto Inland Sea's serene beauty and sample local delicacies along the way. Accompanied by Coach Shibata from Hiroshima VICTOIRE Cycle Academy, this route is perfect for a leisurely ride.
The C Course (various length) invites riders to explore downtown Hiroshima at a relaxed pace, discovering hidden gems that are often missed in everyday commutes. This urban exploration offers cyclists the chance to connect with the city's unique charm and vibrant culture.
After completing your chosen course, participants can enjoy a buffet lunch at Setouchi Cycle Stay Hiroshima Umiage’s restaurant, where you can share stories of your ride over delicious food with fellow cyclists.
The event also features bike rental options from Kimura Ride and Specialized Hiroshima, including e-bikes, gravel bikes, and mountain bikes for those looking to try something new.
Whether riding solo or in a group, the "Kimura Ride" promises an unforgettable cycling experience amidst stunning coastal scenery.
