MY GAP YEAR

If I did a gap year, I would dedicate every day to ride a bike. My intention would be participate in bike races arround the world. 

In this gap year I would travel to a lot of countries. In june I would participate in the first races, like Orbea Cadí Challenge, Quebrantahuesos, Irati Xtrem and Transpyr, in Spain, and the Sportful Dolomiti Race in Italy. In july I would participate only in two races, Terra de Comptes, and La Ruta Minera, in Spain. In August I would participate in La Purito Andorra, in Andorra, and travel to Itali and Switzerlad to do an stage in the Alps. In September I would train a lot, and travel arround Spain, for climb the most important mountains, like Teide, El Muro de Aia or Turó de l'home. I would participate in the Catalunya Bike Race too. In October I would participate in Épica Atcama, in Chile. This is a MTB race, and is one week long. In November I would train and travel to France, for repeat 5 stages of Le Tour de France. In the same month, I would make an Everesting Challenge, it consist in climb in one day +8000m of difference.  In december, I would travel to Cuba, for participate in the Titan Tropic. After this race, I would make a break. In january, I would began again and prepare february races. In february I would participate in Andalucía Bike Race, Costa Blanca Bike Race and Gironès MTB challenge, in Spain, and in The Pioneer in New Zeland. In March I would participate in Cape
Epic in South Africa. This is one of the hardest MTB races of the world. After Cape Epic, I would make a little break. In April, I would participate in the Tour of Flandes, in Belgium, and in the Volcat, and Girona MTB Challenge, in Catalonia. In May I would participate in the Titan Desert in Morocco, and in Orbea Monegros, Terra de l'Aigua, Terra de Remences, La Rioja Bike Race and Cerdenya MTB Challenge in Spain. 

I don't think that make a gap year is positive, because you disconect a lot of the studies, and you lose the habit of study. But if I have to make a gap yer, I want that this has been a cyclist year. This gap year can make me so happy. 

LEGENDARY NAZI TRAIN

In 1945 the Nazis filled a train with up to 300 tons of gold, jewels, and masterpieces and then drove it into secret tunnels in an area of Germany which is now part of Poland. There is no evidence that the train or any trains ever existed and searches have been fruitless.
A group of Polish enthusiasts decided to build a full-size replica of this famous train. The group has built an armoured wagon, which is over 12 metres long. Next, the enthusiasts will build three armoured freight cars and an armoured locomotive.
They will rearrange everything and connect it to a tunnel, which will give the impression that the train has arrived to be loaded. The group hopes that it will become a tourist attraction which will revive the area’s popularity.

I think that's a good idea buil a train replica for become a tourist attraction.

LUIS ENRIQUE: NOT SAD TO GO

Resultado de imagen de luis enriqueLuis Enrique insists he is feeling "no sorrow" as he departs Barcelona after leading them to more silverware. 
Barcelona won the Copa del Rey against Alaves in the final game with Luis Enrique on the bench, to ease the disappointment of the second position in La Liga and going out of the Champions League in the quarter-finals.
But Luis Enrique says he is departing with his head held high.

"If someone had told me when I got here that I would have the chance to help the team and be a part of nine titles out of 13 that we have played... well the figures are really good." Add Luis Enrique.

As has haappened often throughout Enrique's reign, Barcelona were boosted by a brilliant display from Lionel Messi.
The outgoing manager said the player was "from outer space" after the Argentina forward set Barcelona on their way with his 54th goal of the season, before superbly setting up Alcacer for the third.

In my oppinion, Luis Enrique has been a good manager for Barcelona, and cules have been unfair with him. He did a good job in Barcelona's bench and he conquer a lot of titles,.

STRONG WINDS IN CAPE TOWN

Strong Wind in Cape TownOrganisers of the Cape Town Cycle Tour shortened the race after sections of the route were damaged, because of the strong winds. Winds of up to 100 km/h made impossible the practice of the cyclism, because the conditions are so dangerous, and it's so difficult ride a bike with strong winds. Some embraced the extreme conditions and even enjoyed it, while others were cautious.
I practice cycling, and I know the difficults to ride a bike with wind, and I think that's a good idea shorten the race, because it's difficult and dangerous. The wind can throw to the ground the cyclists, and they can be injured.

OBJECTIVE QUEBRANTAHUESOS 2019

In 2009 I went with my father, my mother and my brother to Sabiñanigo (Zaragoza), because my father participated in the Quebrantahuesos, a road bike race with 200km. I felt in love with this race, and I promised myself that when I was 18, I would participate in this race. And this is the reason because I'm a cyclist, because I want to participate in QH.

Now I'm 16 yers old, and I want to participate in Quebrantahuesos with my father in 2019. I'm going to train very hard for do it. I know that is a very hard prove, but with a lot of train I can do it.




THE IMPORTANCE OF A 1,5M

Resultado de imagen de 1,5 m respect cyclist
It's easy, only 1,5m separates life and death. I'm 16 years old, and I love cycling. I have friends who play football, basket or tennis, and when they go to play their favourite sport, they don't fear for their lifes. Unfortunately, I can't say the same when I go to practice cycling. Every training some cars pass very close of us, and sometimes they almost hit us. I can't understand why some people prefers kill a person than wait a moment and pass with 1,5m of distance. The cyclists are persons too, and we have the same right than cars to go on the road.

I request people to be patient with cyclists, arrive 5 minutes later is better than kill a person. 


NARCOS

Usually I don't see a lot of series, but now I feel in love with Narcos, an American crime Netflix series. The Netflix serie have 2 seasons with 10 chapters for each one. Now it's recording the third season. This serie talk about Pablo's Escobar life, and is narrated by agent Murphy, an agent of the DEA, who helped to kill Pablo. Pablo was a terrorist drug dealer in Colombia. The serie explain how Pablo begin with the traffic and end with his dead. 

My favourite character is Javier Peña. Peña is Murphy's partner, and is an important piece for catch Pablo. He is a good polician, but he do things that aren't correct for catch Pablo. He agree with Cali Carter, a drug dealer grup who want to kill Pablo. But he is a good person who want the best for Colombia.





TERRA DE REMENCES 2017: RESULTS & FEELINGS

Last sunday 14 May of 2017 I participated in a ciclyng race on Sant Esteve d'en Bas. This race was Terra de Remences, and this was my first road bike race. The proof had 95km and +1300m of difference.  I did it in 2:54h and I was the 185 of 1691 participants.

I participated with my father and Francesc. The first thing that I thank when I finished  the race was: 'I want to go to the bed', but a few moments later, I felt so happy. The race was very hard and I arrived very tired. But I made a very good race! In the first mountain, Capsacosta, I advanced a lot of people, and I did a very good climb. In Coll de Cannes I climbed better than in Capsacosta. Finally we arrive 30 minutes latewr than the first classificated, and I felt very happy.
