City of Maebashi. About 330,000 population. Among the mountains such as Mt.Haruna(1449m) and Mt.Akagi(1828m), it is located in the location that is full of green, and the city where a calm atmosphere drifts as prefectural seat of Gunma is famous because road cycling and truck cycling are prosperous. The neighboring mountains are dotted with the gravel roads and, let alone the way of enjoying EXPLORO as the gravel bike, can spend scenery of the downtown and the time when we heal daily fatigue by putting it on top of one another.
群馬県前橋市。人口約33万人。榛名山(1449m)、赤城山(1828m)といった山々に囲まれ、緑豊かなロケーションに位置し、群馬県の県庁所在地として落ち着いた雰囲気が漂う都市はロードサイクリングやトラックサイクリングが盛んな事で有名だ。周囲の山々にはグラベルロードも点在し、EXPLOROのグラベルバイクとしての楽しみ方はもちろんの事、街中の景色と重ね合わせる事で日々の疲れを癒してくれる時間を過ごせる。
仕事帰りのアーバンクルーズ、まずは前橋公園の水上ステージより、マジックアワーの中央大橋を望む。フレームが輝き、ロゴが見えなくとも、そのシルエットは紛れもなく「ＥＸＰＬＯＲＯ」だ。
At first Urban Cruise of the work return sees Chuo-ohashi Bridge of the magic hour from the water stage of Maebashi Park. Even if a frame shines and cannot see a logo, the silhouette is obviously “EXPLORO”.
トワイライトタイムの群馬県庁。地上３３階建てと聞くと、階上から夜景を見たくなりがちだが、街灯に
照らされ輝くＥＸＰＬＯＲＯと共に見上げるのもまた良い。星のまたたきが増えてくるにつれて、県庁の窓の明かりは逆に消えていく。一日の終わりを感じる時だ。
Gunma prefectural government office is the rare building where a new Government building completed in 1999 overlaps “a Government building built in 1928 of the Showa era”. It is an image letting the latest carbon frame wear the tire of the TanWall color if I compare it to EXPLORO. The Government building of the Showa era is performed writing of by a light with the warmth and can feel history at dusk.
群馬県庁は、１９２８年に建設された「昭和庁舎」と、１９９９年に竣工した新庁舎がオーバーラップする珍しい建物だ。ＥＸＰＬＯＲＯに例えるなら、最新のカーボンフレームにＴａｎＷａｌｌカラーのタイヤを履かせるようなイメージだ。昭和庁舎は温もりのある灯りでライティングされ、夕暮れ時も歴史を感じる事ができる。
I have passed through the station road pedestrian bridge of Maebashi Station many times by car, but it is the first time that it passes on foot. I leave EXPLORO giving calm time at the wall and enjoy slower time. It is charm of EXPLORO that has a way of enjoying different from STRADA again.
前橋駅の駅前通り歩道橋は自動車でなら何度もくぐったことがあるが、歩いて渡るのは生まれて初めてだ。穏やかな時間を与えてくれるＥＸＰＬＯＲＯを壁に預け、さらにゆっくりな時を愉しむ。
ＳＴＲＡＤＡとはまた違った楽しみ方ができるのも、ＥＸＰＬＯＲＯの魅力だ。

I easily enjoy cycling of around 20km in the city and can come home when I put Tone riverside spreading in the Kanto plains or Hirose riverside full of the emotion together.
It is the time that is good for a warm-up to gravel of the weekend.
関東平野へと流れる利根川沿いや、情緒あふれる広瀬川沿いなどを組み合わせると、簡単に市内で20km程度のサイクリングを楽しんで帰宅する事ができる。
週末のグラベルへの脚慣らしにも良い時間だ。
