Pista BCN team medical revision

Just gettin' all ready for the season! We were doing the medical revisions & tests with our Doctor Valentin! 

Wood change

This is the actual state of our velodrome on Barcelona, (Velòdrom d'Horta). They decide to change the woods after 22 years. The woods that we been riding were the same as the Olympic Games on Barcelona 92'. But last time we ride it, this woods were rotten and broken.

We have to wait more than 3 months, it will be ready for the Catalonian Championship. 

I can't wait to ride it!

Cyclocross Santa Coloma de Farners

Last Sunday was the last race of the Catalonian Cyclocross Championship (Copa Catalana de Ciclocross) on Santa Coloma de Farners, near Girona. It was my first race on the 2015 calendar, and I was ready to burn it up!

The day was cold, but sunny. I was trying the circuit, and I saw a river cross part! I love river crossings and I began to try and try till I get the feet super cold! The river has 2 parts and we cross it 2 times, so we had to cross it 4 times. 

The race began, and the circuit was awesome! On the first 50m after the start we got a 180º turn followed by a region covered by leafs and roots. Then was a part full of leafs with lot of turns and little hills someones with barriers. 

At the final of this section we had a 150m sand part followed by the river!

The first river cross was impossible to cross on bike, because it has a mud wall at the final of the part, and the second part has a sand wall followed by 3 barriers. 

Then we got a tilted zone with turns and downhills over mud and grass!

The second time we cross it, we come from a little downhill before a sand section to the river but you can get enough speed to cross the first part of the river. The second part was more technical, arriving from the first part we ride a wet sand section followed by a long river cross, and after that we had a long riverside sand; only some racers were doing it!

It was an awesome race on a awesome place! We got lot of fun on it!

We end the season lunching all together before the overall awards. 

Finally I get the 4th position overall (on my category) being the only one on a Single Speed Cyclocross Bike!

Cyclocross Reus: 3rd position

Today was the Cyclocross race on Reus. It was so windy and cold, but it was super sunny! I try the track and it was amazing, perfect for my transformed PoloAndBike Single Speed Cyclocross. It was a dirt track with sand and gravel and some dry mud. 

The circuit was the shortest from the Catalonian Championship, 1,5km. After the first lap, the judges decide that we should do 14 laps. The terrain was all dirt. The obstacles this time were: 2 hills in one, a big one follow by a turn and a little one; a super cool double drop downhill; a dry mud zone; and 2 stairs zones.  

This race was super fast because the altitude increase was zero. This was my perfect terrain and perfect race! 

The race ends on a sprint at the asphalt zone. 

But the real surprise was that the I got the 3rd place on my category!

This could not have better ending, the sun with cold, a super cool track, cycling with good friends, riding my PoloAndBike SingleSpeedCX conversion and gettin' the 3rd place! Thanks to all! And super glad to race on this Championship!
