MAAP Equinox Experience Ride: Long Beach, USA | Ride 2

The arrival of Equinox on March 19th and 20th, brings an opportunity to reflect on our relationship with the light around us as we move into the season ahead.

In collaboration with GRUPPETTO, we want to inspire and motivate cyclists around the world to chase the light for 12-hours during the week of the Equinox. The days are extending for some and shortening for others, but on this day riders in the Southern and Northern Hemisphere experience roughly twelve hours of light and twelve of darkness. The global cycling community is in balance. Here, we explore an appreciation for these events and a commitment to the spirit of adventure in the changing seasons.

This ride series is designed to invite you to create important space for 12-hours of riding during the week of the Equinox. It's not easy to create this space for ourselves. It's often we're pulled in a variety of different directions supporting key responsibilities. Whether you plan to do the entire series or just a selection of these rides, you'll be a part of a global community of riders finding a moment of harmony and alignment on the bike. However it’s accomplished, may the effort be grounded in the pleasure of possibilities when pushing into new comfort zones with friends.

As we push ourselves to the next level, we need our gear to meet us there too. Incremental gains are the difference between betterment and stagnating. The all-new Team Bib Evo Cargo marries minimalistic engineering for maximal performance and utility. It's the ultimate bib for those aspiring to go further: https://maap.cc/road
