Still riding, and leading every ride.
From the Base to the Backroads
Built by someone who knows base life
Phillip Alan Epps served on active duty with the US Air Force at Misawa Air Base, then worked as a Department of Defense civilian on bases across Japan and South Korea: Camp Foster, Iwakuni, Sasebo and former Yongsan Garrison in Seoul. He knows what families want on a long weekend, and he leads every ride himself.
Ride formats
Half-day family rides for kids and first-timers. Welcome to Japan rides for new arrivals. One-day and long-weekend rides near your base. Seven-day routes for leave. Private Rides for one family or group, on any route.
Coming to South Korea
The Han River Ride and the Seoul to Busan Ride.
Safety first
A safety briefing before every ride. Helmets required, and bikes fitted to every rider, kids included. The pace is set for the slowest rider, and no one is left behind.
Military pricing
Our standard programs, discounted for servicemembers and their families. Travel expenses are always billed with no markup.
