Hey everybody! My name is Sonya Looney and welcome to my podcast. For those of you who don’t have any context on me, I’m a plant-based World Champion ultra endurance mountain biker. I travel the world and have met some incredible people with world class attitudes and ways of living that motivate me daily, and I want to share their paths of mastery with you. This is a podcast interviewing inspiring leaders across the categories of wellness, endurance fitness, plant-based nutrition, mindset, and entrepreneurship to help you unlock the best and healthiest version of yourself.

Solo Round: My Adventure Traveling in Japan and Winning the Otaki 100

Jun 8, 2018

Today's show is a solo round with yours truly! The month of May was a whirlwind with travel and races, but I wanted to slow down for a few minutes and tell you all about my experience traveling and racing my mountain bike in Japan! I traveled in Tokyo and Nagano and also won the biggest endurance race in Japan - the Otaki 100km!

I have two other blog posts I'm working on about my experience with tons of photos, but I wanted to share my adventure travel experience in Japan via audio!

how/why I decided to race in Japan
Yuki Ikeda
the cultural aspects about Japan that stood out to me
