VIDEO VLOG

Everything began in the BH Concept store in Barceloneta. The route is not a race, but there are checkpoints to verify you've made the route properly.

Liam & Nils were my team mates for this Adventure. Big friends and crazy boys about large routes. They made Torino Niza through gravel paths.

The track changed from last year because this was the first weekend after Gloria Storm. Gloria storm hit Catalunya so hard, making some of the gravel paths impossible to ride.

So much fun in the route! Ready for next one: Ronden Van Osonen

CYCLOCROSS Manresa 2019 - Single Speed CX

CX Manresa is one of the best races of the season. The track is full of obstacles like barriers and hills.

During the race, I been battling with a member form the Unica Cycling Team, we been fighting for the position all time.

I finally overtook him on the lasts laps, and I began to increase my peace to win him! It's always a pleasure race with someone, and I'm really proud to race in SingleSpeed.

really happy with this race, can't wait for the next one!

CYCLOCROSS Sant Fruitós de Bages 2019 - Benet Games

Vuelve el Cyclocross, y empezamos la Copa Catalana 2019 en Sant Fruitós de Bages. 

Cyclocross is back, and we begin the first race in Sant Fruitó de Bages

Por primera vez, me subo a una bici con marchas; Empezé hace 5 años en Single Speed hasta ahora.

For first time I'm riding a bike with gear, I've been racing on Single Speed CX for 5 years.

Al inicio era todo polvo, el circuito parecia de BTT, con muchas pendientes y rocas. 

At the beginning it was all dust. The track was mostly for BTT with lot of downhills and rocks.

Primera vuelta, no llego a boxes y pincho la rueda trasera. Paro en boxes, mis compañeros me dan una camara, cambiamos y salgo otra vez a fuego. Ya me habían doblado y yo sin haber hecho una sola vuelta...

First lap, after arriving into the boxes, i got a flat tire. I stop there, some friends give me a new tire, we change it and then I get back to race. I was lapped before doing a lap.

Otra vuelta y vuevlo pinchar. Paro en boxes con la intención de salir con la llanta o retirarme. Por suerte un gran colega me para, y me deja su bici para que acabe la carrera. 

Another lap and another flat tire. I get into boxes, thinking about racing whitout tire (with the rim), but luckily a good friend give me his bike to finish the race. 

Volvemos a la carga, más doblado que "insertar una frase graciosa".

I get back on racing but lapped.

Acabao la carrera después de 1h de sufrimiento por no volver a pinchar. 

Ending the race after suffering about getting more flat tires.

No fue la mejor carrera, falta mucho por aprender con las marchas.

Well, not the best race. I got to keep working on it.

Ladies & Gentlemen's Gravel Ride BCN - GRN is a gravel race using only Cyclocat routes.

Saturday was about showing the track and the welcome to the riders. I was helping Joan because he was busy being a Gentleman. 

Sunday morning and ready to race. The race began in the BH Concept Store, near Barceloneta. 

The only thing was: HARD RAIN. It was raining very hard, but we got a lot of people ready to race. 

We were the last to go, Joan and I were ready to get deep into the rain! 

All began easy, only having some rain. But all came at the first gravel section. Mud, mud & mud! 

The first checkpoint was like a gods gift! A chocolate croissant. 

After the 3rd checkpoint, the rain began to stop, and we got gravel and muddy surface, the best to ride! 

We arrived to Girona super dirty, but we got lot of fun! It was awesome! 146km in gravel roads, with mud and rain. It can't be better. 

Can't wait for the next one!
