JAPAN / SHIMANAMI KAIDO / THE  JIMOTO TOUR

You know that feeling when you’re traveling, doing a tour or whatever, and every day is full of cool stuff, great food, intriguing cultural highlights and awesome riding - and then you get to the hotel, unpack, shower, go eat, sleep, get up early, re-pack, load the stuff in the van, and head off to the next destination - and by the end, you‘ve seen a lot of stuff but, you never really got into the rhythm of the places you sped through?

You just passed on through…

Not on this tour.

We completed the full route (there are three shorter versions too), covering 125km and conquering 3,200m of elevation gain. Despite a series of setbacks with flat tires and mechanical issues, we crossed the finish line grinning like we’d just won the race!

The beauty of the place, the scale of it all, and the friendliness of both fellow riders and race crew all combines to overthrow you, in the nicest possible way.

The event has come on in leaps and bounds since its inception and will host the World Gravel Champs in 2026.

It really is a wonderful experience and as a result, we’re hosting a 7-day tour there in 2025 (May 15th to 21st, 22nd is departure day), anchored around the event itself, which is on the 17th.

The tour will include 5 stages over the 7 days. In addition to some amazing riding in Western Australia, we’ve sprinkled in a winery visit, some proper Aussie grub, a little VIP status with an invite to the Pro Ride the day before the event and access behind the scenes to meet the SEVEN founders and crew, as well as airport pick up and drop off.

This is all capped off with a guaranteed race entry for this mighty behemoth of a gravel race!

We only have TEN spots available for this exclusive SEVEN Tour.

Note: For this tour a road bike is ideal, 30mm slick tires are recommended.

Please note that on all of our tours, we make sure that no one gets left behind. We are all about inclusivity, not exclusivity - this is a collective, after all.
