“This year the new addition to the calendar was the first Gourmet Century in Japan. Riding was obviously the backbone of the event, but it also revolved around the participants, local food and sights of rural Japan. Riders experienced a variety of different micro-climates as the weather and scenery morphed over the course of the day, dotted along the way with seasonal dishes prepared by Circles’ own Early Birds and Chris King’s Chris Diminno.”
