GS ASTUTO ride support team

Adventure is great. And nothing beats riding roads unknown solo. But sometimes it's also great to have someone to share the experience and help out with new routes, local knowledge and even lingo. To help fill these needs we are accepting independent guides and cyclists in Japan that we can refer to those looking for domestique / guides that have solid experience in Japan (language, riding, routes). If you would like to be registered as a qualified Domestique Cycling Guide then please do contact us by using the form below.
