Iseran, the highest paved port Alps
(Article published in the magazine BB n.38. Photo Sergi Ros)
A good debate paved the highest port in the Alps ... Only a few details to conclude that this is indeed the Iseran, with its 2,770 meters. The Col de Restefond rises to 2,762 meters and Bonette loop goes up to 2,802 meters, but can not be considered strictly a port. The same applies to the Solden glacier in Austria, which reaches 2,829 meters. No one can speak of the highest climbs in the Alps without referring to the mythical Sommeiller, reaching no less than the 3,009 meters and is accessed by a door partially unpaved from Bardonecchia in Italy. And being a mythical name unpaved ports in France is to do another big unknown as aa Parpaillon 2650 meters, the other with two sides ... So many names and only some of them conquered. There is so much to do ...
The marathon is a port Iseran by the two sides, both north of Bourg Saint Maurice (35 km from Ste Foy Tarentaise, overcoming a drop of 1,710 meters, an average of 5% gradient) as the south side, from Lanslebourg (33 km, an average of 4.2%). We ascended the north side. The first installment of Val d'Isere approach road is very wide, four lanes. Also in this section we with several tunnels, bright but always make you alert. Incidentally, Terradiversions Angel told us to take the obligatory rear lights on the bike for the passage of the tunnels, since otherwise the French gendarmes could fine. Obviously, we fully listen to their recommendation and finally got some lights that are placed on the handlebar cap perfectly fulfilled its function. I have not taken me since then, always welcome, and not the weight ... In an ascent
so long, seven miles of false flat which is the step by Val d'Isere is truly appreciated. We must save our strength for most dramatic increase: a very long horseshoe curve at its highest point offers a spectacular view of Val d'Isere and the first part of the climb. The slope in this section is hard and sometimes get to 7 and 8%, but at no time is so hard not to appreciate the splendid scenery that opens to our right.
Iseran is just awesome. We are fortunate that time with us, and how. Only a week before our visit to the Alps, in this same port, the top temperature reached -5 °. When we went up we had a superb summer day because, well, we enjoyed the presence of snow, not only at the curb, but that in many parts of walls of snow that we found were higher than 2 meters.
The truth is that Iseran up on Saturday and on a day so wonderful, we have a great atmosphere, and many cyclists during the ascent. Of any kind, form and level. Many wore jerseys of companies riding routes through the Alps stages. English, Italian, Australian, Belgian, French course, and that group of English people who were enjoying more than anyone I believe. Once arrived
up a lot of people admiring the scenery. It's time to look in all directions, watching the snow still abundant in the vicinity, enjoy cycling and mortar environment that breathes. What enjoyed the Iseran is the culmination of the Alps, is a destination in itself. And we are privileged, enjoying it all in one place, at almost 3,000 mtros not forget where it is easy for the weather gets rough.
Iseran is also in the typical shop at the top where you can buy souvenirs. Not too many riders motif (although we did find the typical T-shirt with the words "Le plus haut d'Europe et al), but in particular for bikers. In addition, this Sabbath was held some sort of rally vintage car that gave color to the rise and also provided some risk because some of the drivers of such classics also seemed to try to drive a Formula 1. Top
find a brochure announcing "L'Iserane" road cyclists test which took place on July 11 that includes the ascent to Iseran, but only from Val d'Isere. Of course, with the road closed to traffic. Val d'Isere - Iseran-Bonneval sur Arc, a distance of 60 km and 924 meters. A nice excuse to raise the Iseran as quickly as possible ...
The Tour de France has been included in the tour, Iseran on several occasions, particularly seven times less than they deserve an alpine giants of this magnitude. These were the years 1938, 1939, 1949, 1959, 1963, 1992 and the last one in 2007. Notably, in 1996, Indurain's defeat, a Tour that is remembered for the bad weather was also expected to pass through the Iseran but was suspended over the port due to bad weather (you remember, the month of Julio!). In 2007, the Tour of Rasmussen and Contador, the Val d'Isere etapón-Briançon, of 159 km, including the day you will climb to Iseran, Telegraph and Galibier, with final victory of the Colombian Mauricio Soler.
For our part, that day in the Alps completed the stage with a beautiful and lengthy decline that leads to Lanslebourg. And Mont Cenis was the perfect complement to Iseran ascension to complete another stage worthy of a Tour de France. Only 107 km, but with a cumulative altitude of 3,000 meters. Mont Cenis is unique in that its top is a vast plain and a large dam which translates into more than ten kilometers of flat before starting the descent towards Italy. Tremendous drop in the Italian side of Mont Cenis, and lasts much longer that way. Per
the big star of the day is Iseran. One of those ports that a cyclist worth his salt has to have in your particular curriculum. And if you decide on that fortune smiles you, accompanies you time and allows you to enjoy that mountain in all its glory, enjoy it the most because it will be one of your top moments as cicloescaladores.

Menards Countertops Laminate

(Article published in No. 38 of the BB magazine. Photo: Sergi Ros) is what is the collecting of ports. Once you've uploaded some of the most important ports in the world of cycling, you have to go looking for new incentives, new challenges. So when we think back to the Alps, we wanted to try lesser-known ports. And yet we need to dig into hidden corners in the maps. The major stage races are still discovering us every year a new road is not so popular for cyclists.
On our way out of the Alps, one of the highlights was the same stage as did the 2009 Tour from Martigny (Switzerland) and Bourg Saint Maurice (France) and ended with the victory of the Euskaltel rider Mikel Astarloza. 160 km out of Switzerland, to Italy and ending in France, with two ports not too well known, two false twins as Gran San Bernardo and Piccolo San Bernardo.
had been many years until in 2009 the Tour's re-introduced in its path. The Gran San Bernardo rose only four times in the past (years 1949, 1959, 1963 and 1966). Suffice to say that Armstrong was not born the last time the Tour passed by the Gran San Bernardo, and neither Indurain and Hinault the Tour on a scale never even Merckx, Ocana and put him ... It was Federico Martín Bahamontes, who else, who happened to head for the port in 1966. In the case of Piccolo San Bernardo, climbed the years 1949, 1959 and 1963.
Our stage began with the ascension as the Gran San Bernardo, a very wide road with heavy traffic and which also circulated the previous stage of the Tour 2009 with the end in Verbier where he triumphed Contador. In fact to arrive at Verbier must begin to climb the Gran San Bernardo, and after 18 kilometers of road you share a very large diversion on the left leading to the ski resort of Verbier in 8.8 miles at an average of 7.5%.
The climb to the Great St. Bernard continues to this wide road and is a very long approach to the really interesting area, which starts from the tunnel. This tunnel motor vehicles save the last mile of ascent. Although, who would want to miss that, if the best? Nothing less than 8 kilometers at an average of 8%, when we climb from 32 of Martigny. Besides being by far the most demanding stretch, the road narrows and the views are beginning to be spectacular, one would expect from a port slashing 2,500 meters. Until finally, between walls of snow, crowned the 2469 meters of altitude.
is a great incentive to think we are following in the footsteps of Hannibal, Julius Caesar, and Napoleon, with an army of 46,000 men crossed to Italy in 1800, with the Gran San Bernardo still covered with snow. At this point, it's worth doing a bit of history to discover the origin of the name of these ports and their relationship to the breed of dog also called San Bernardo. In this mountain pass, San Bernardo di Montone founded in the eleventh century a hospice for travelers and pilgrims. There have been kept since the mid-seventeenth century, large mountain dogs for guarding and protection. The existence of these dogs has been documented pictorially since 1695 and written about the hospice in 1707. These dogs will soon be used as companion dogs and specially as rescue dogs for travelers lost in the fog and snow. There are many tales about the many lives saved by these dogs from the "white death" and stories of soldiers who crossed the pass with Bonaparte's army to 1,800, in the nineteenth century, which spread the fame of St. Bernard for all Europe.
From the top, we passed the small souvenir shop, a bow and after that we went to an open area where we expect an impressive frozen lake (June 24!) that offers plenty of eye level. Shortly afterwards we see the old asylum and the statue of San Bernardo, rod in hand, that becomes a precise handle this pair of twin ports of different altitudes.
The descent from the Italian side air is very, very spectacular. Not just the last 8 km which one can enjoy, as you Swiss side, but practically all very colorful. Therefore, we have to stop at a couple of times to take pictures and record the grandeur of the landscape.
Between the Great and Little St. Bernard pass by the famous Italian Aosta valley. We left Switzerland, passed by Italy and end in France. Not bad, 3 countries in a single step, without having to teach or even identity. As I went through Aosta and shortly after the town of Arvier. Since last year, was keen to stop at this location since it is the birthplace of Maurice Garin, winner of the first edition of the Tour de France in 1903. Italian-born, but later naturalized French, Maurice Garin, as so many young people in the Aosta valley made a living across the border to work in "ramoneur" (sweep), in several French cities. Because of his humble profession and its small size (1.62 m and 60 kg) was known by the nickname of "petit ramoneur" "Le Petit Matelot" and "le blanc bouledogue."
In one of the roundabouts Arvier output is a memorial to this little bike that, in addition to the Tour de France, has other important races under his belt (Paris Roubaix in 1897 and 1898 for example). It's exciting to pay our tribute to Garin on this visit to the Alps.
no time to entertain more than they should, and we are about to start rising to the Little Saint Bernard. The numbers do not scare, but a port of 27.6 miles at an average 4.6% and no more can be neglected so far carried. The climb begins in the town of Morgex, who is also the starting point of one of the most colossal steepening of the Alps: the Colle San Carlo (10.5 km at 9.81%!). The good thing is that it is possible to climb San Carlo, down to La Thuile and then resume the climb to the Piccolo San Bernardo. It is recalled that in 2006, rose Giro San Carlo final stage in La Thuile precisely. This option would include San Carlo is not an increase in mileage, but in the accumulated slope and total hardness of the stage. We left the hardest for you. I do not hardly dare to think.
The mileage is taking its toll, and although the profile numbers are not excessive, the end of Piccolo San Bernardo is very lengthy. My memories are blurred: the miles passed slowly and could not devote any energy to contemplate the splendid scene that gave us the little brother (2,184 meters). From what I know for certain is that the Piccolo San Bernardo is one of the prettiest harbors I've climbed in the Alps. No wonder: it is said that from this point you can see the best views of Mont Blanc. Once
accumulate up souvenirs that capture with the camera: the shop, the sign of the port, another symbol of step with the typical dog, the statue of San Bernardo (two, in the absence of one) ... We have no that 31 kilometers of descent to get to Bourg Saint Maurice, a perfect base camp to meet further increases on subsequent days.
In conclusion, a round stage, with 160 km, a curious and centuries-old history, two puertazos and three countries. Not too hard, but we want to give ground war has left over. And at the cyclist has it all: with the day ahead, and just watch and enjoy the scenery, is a highly recommended step you can include in your next trips to the Alps.
Christophe Penot As we said in the Tour de France Guide 2009, San Bernardo et al are rare and mysterious. And will remain there until the Tour decided reinserted in its path. Just spend 40 years. Meanwhile, you can include in your particular track record without having to wait for the Tour's return to remember.

This is a really hard duathlon. And beautiful. Too bad if you want to do a good time is not going to be able to enjoy, except to enjoy the best means to suffer and see the back of the guy who carries forward. But to make a good time is important to know what you see and know the terrain. After two years of participation, an absolute beginner with a lot of respect , and a second year late for the start and doing all the way off balance, try playing this year make good time. For this training focused on the run and in contact with the mountain, leaving a little bike that I've been training her whole life ... Download my personal time of 4 hours 20 minutes seemed affordable and thought that 4.10 was available to me. Go for it.
late September temperatures have been unusually low. Only 3 rd at 7 am on Ribes. Ugh. Imagined that this could develop into many sub-zero in that same time Puigmal. The point is Puigmal culmimante this duathlon mountain over 2,900 meters. A true giant.
After almost repeat out late last year we arrived just in time to place ourselves at the very end and hear the starting gun. We must move forward as is.
begin to weave trying to overtake all I can, mainly by the left but you have to be on the right, on the right. The final people take it calmly to the exit, the test is long, but I was sure that meant a good time to start doing the bike leg to stop. Here I go. I can not stop people overtaking in the 11 km-long ascent to Fontalba. A good wheel lame legs and when I can, some pedaling faster and later. I feel good, but almost to stop regulating. The result is 1 hour 10 minutes when control step Fontalba chip. A rapid transition, change of boots, helmet off, grab my hat and go. I uploaded without touching the container, or in the food supply forced me to drink 3 or 4 glasses of water, do not get dehydrated.
Puigmal ascent begins from the beginning people will walk. There is little overtaking. But step by Fernando, also Cardedeu, and I think I should be going up very well to be ahead of him. It motivates me to think that. I already know the Puigmal of the two previous times, I know the landings and I know that the hardest part is the end. This time we just off the cross that is on top and I'd like to get the souvenir photo next to it, but no time for sissies, another day will be.
For many the crown is over the worst, but I know that the worst is just about to begin. The road between stones is steep, land slides and I can not let go because the fall would be the championship. The quads are starting to suffer. I passed some guys and especially a blonde girl who falls like a bike, but controlling. Awesome.
remains a long way to the Sanctuary of Nuria where the spirit of the people gives me goosebumps. This year's supplies by the Lake, and then stop briefly to eat a banana and drink, and I have no drum to slice up, and will total 2 hours and 29 minutes ... Nuria Even before my calculations led me to get a final time of 4 hours, which seems a past and motivates me to keep up.
Fontalba Coming back to me squeeze maximum and then be all down and no where to spend, you have to leave everything there. I take the bike fast and low without touching the brake until the curves, where grit your stability tests. I punctured people from the sides of the track and suddenly I see an ambulance and people making signs of stopping. I try not to make the looker and do not give head turns, I lose 4 hours. Then I learned of the gravity the accident. Shit.
A little further down I see my friend Marc played, repairing. I greet. If I am not asking for anything is that you can do it alone, but my conscience tells me I'm a pig for not stopping.
The final reward is to lose the 4 hours, 3 hours 56 minutes and third in my age group.
Probably the best classification ever had in a competition. I felt very well and still do not know the secret. Training, just like always, but a quiet week before I think it helps. I do not know if one day I will run this time, I'll try. But for now I'm on a cloud ...

Colle delle Finestre, "Dust, fatigue and sweat"
Published in the journal n.37 bracket.

Published in the journal n.37 bracket. Photo: Sergi Ros
The Giro teaches us new things. Innova looking back, remembering the best of times past. Asphalt modernity relegated the romance of the road dust and stones. Who does not remember the time when the Gavia still had sections unpaved, and you do not look back far back to recall the stages of this year in Montalcino, the "strade bianche" of
The stage was perfectly designed, since the rise was partly the unpaved side later we shall see, and fall perfectly paved, not to take too many risks. The end was in Sestriere (where he won the Venezuelan Jose Rujano) in a final is not too hard and also evokes another historic Tour de 1992, Claudio Chiappucci resounding victory on Italian soil, before a Indurain that day suffered a pájaras of the few who remember him.
The Finestre Colle begins in the Italian town of Susa, right next to the natural border with France which is the Col de Mont Cenis (Mt Cenisio in Italian). Susa is embedded in a very steep valley. The highest peaks that are far away are still snow in late June, when we made this climb so special.
The climb has a first part with lots of hairpin curves that are helping to gain altitude quickly. The principle is surely the most hard, to step by Meana di Susa with a mile to 11.3%. The climb is very consistent in its slope and its path-curve, a reverse curve, a reverse. The road is very narrow and very closed forest. The sun can barely squeeze through much vegetation and only when we gain altitude we can see a spectacular view over the valley of Susa. The landscape changes abruptly and we're getting to the most feared of the climb.
When the pavement ends, a curious green sign indicates that begins the "Strada del Colle delle Finestre, when it begins precisely where the" sterrato "(dirt road). That went through a time tunnel. The green color of vegetation change by the brown of the earth and turn color photos into black and white. While climbing I remember the television images of the stage Giro 2005, which also played with black and white. How well does that the Giro. Danilo Di Luca dressed in white coming up with features horseshoes Finestre the background while the foreground is unmade ground. Historical moments that we now live in person.
The infamous soil quality is probably worse than the gravel layer which is coated with this rise in 2005. It's a wide track, yes, but to get 100% effort to look for the best line and can not look away from the ground.
feel it is a special day and I feel very comfortable going up. Of the four days we have been in the Alps today in the Finestre climb, as best I am. I climb around some friends that I have taken minutes to further rises of previous days. I am so, those rises motivate me. While others curse the lack of asphalt I, with my bottom bracket black retro jersey, I guess riding in the days of Coppi and Bartali with cross tires in the chest.
mediated part of the unpaved climb above you can see the end of the port. Quickly understand the meaning of Colle de Finestre: Port windows. A fortified tower with many windows controlled the entire rise from Susa. Your eyes will not abandon us and for the last mile.
The climb is steady and let it do. Only in some tight corners with the firm in very bad shape I think it may be a risk to set foot on the ground, but not the hardness but the loose soil and lack of traction. Whole came up more than I thought. Doubted that these brutal figures (19 km
At the top, beside the sign that indicates the port
The work is called "Dust, fatigue and sweat", and thus described in a poster at the very top: "With the 19 th stage of the Giro d'Italia 88, 19 May 2005, the Colle delle Finestre has entered the history of cycling's partly thanks to the unpaved path, unique in Europe. The sculpture is dedicated to the corridor of the Abruzzi Danilo Di Luca and wants to remember the feat he accomplished by first passing the Colle delle Finestre. The work includes the whole course of the 9 ports epic cycling (Izoard, Fauna, Mortirolo, Gavia, Stelvio, Tourmalet, Mont Ventoux, Alpe d'Huez and the Galibier) and, through the use of elements of the mountain tops of stone, earth, sky and the light that is reflected in the mirrors, meant to represent the strain and fatigue cycling at altitude. "
The top of Finestre is also the starting point of the Strada
But not everyone appreciates Finestre like me. A colleague of the group that went to the Alps or even took the bike that day. Others would prefer not to continue when the pavement disappeared. However, for me it evokes fond memories cyclists, such as unpaved Gavia 90's. For me it is so great that even the problems of Di Luca doping blur the memory of Finestre. As I had not done if we have bad weather. The day I climbed was climatically splendid, but I confess that I had not imported upload on a rainy day. Change dust mud and the title of the article works well. It is the legend of Finestre.

Whats The Different Kinds Of Cock
England: Rocks, clouds and sheep killer in England Raises
Published in n. 37 of the magazine BB
Visit a country like England in cycling is a new and different experience. How to identify a British road? Easy. First, vehicles driven on the left, distances are in miles and altitude in feet. Curious, no? Second, the slopes are constant in any journey, the landscape is mountainous, all grass, and although the altitude never exceeds 900 feet, the slopes are very serious, it is hard to find slopes of 20%. Third, another distinctive fact the stone walls are usually found on the sides of many roads. The stones on which circulate in Flanders or Northern France, we find them in England delimiting the road. Another feature of English are under spectacular skies with dramatic clouds that offer all kinds of nuances. During our stay we enjoy fantastic landscapes with threatening clouds, but we were fortunate that very little rain. And last not understand English rural landscape without sheep. Where do so many?
British Cycling is undergoing a boom at present, although it has always been a popular sport in the islands. Today, with the guest appearance of a sprinter that will mark an era, as is Mark Cavendish, the love of cycling is multiplied. Sky team building this year 2010 with a national leader as Bradley Wiggins, also helps that the practice is booming road cyclists.
Our visit to England took place to mark the 2010 International Meeting of BIG, whose headquarters was Ambleside in the Lake District, Cumbria. The dates for the meeting was chosen were undoubtedly the most appropriate, the month of May, in which rainfall is the lowest of the year. The International Meeting of BIG is a time of year to greet old acquaintances, talk of new ports climbed, climbed, and remember the old port, in short, keep alive the spirit of the race's climber-explorer-traveler representing in many cases the member of BIG.
The vicissitudes of our trip were many and possibly if you go to England you can happen the same, or is that Take note and, above all, care. The theme car rental is a problem. In addition to driving on the left, we must bear in mind that the gearbox is also on the opposite side to European cars. We must learn to lead by measuring the distances to the left, making it relatively easy to give or receive a blow, especially if pos circuláis narrow roads and steep as was our case. If you do not manage it, it's easy to pass you and us and deprive you of the car incident. Imagine drama.
As road cyclists, the opportunities that arise in England are many. Before listing some of them, I must comment that most of these tests cyclists have a charitable purpose, which is still favored over popular participation. These initiatives could learn in our country. It would be nice.
Here are some of the many proposals offered by the English calendar:
• First highlights the Fred Whitton Challenge, a cyclist running in the Lake District that meets most of the more interesting hikes and therefore harder in the area. This year we celebrated on May 9. It is a grueling test of 112 miles (180 km) starting and finishing in Coniston. There is a chance to do what they call the Four Seasons (Four Seasons) Fred Whitton is the possibility of making the same gear but free and free of charge, taking time to step in some controls and may eventually prove the completion of test. More information: http://www.fredwhittonchallenge.org.uk/
• Another interesting possibility in Cumbria, also in the Lake District, is "The Cumbrian killer" The route is 145 kilometers long and up Blea Tarn , Birk Fell, Stickle Pike and Kirkstone Pass. Also grueling climbs the east slope of Wrynose Pass and then Hardknott Pass. The total gap is up 2.620 meters.
• The Tour of Dartmoor is another takes place in some way it has been compared to the Marmotte by their hardness. 170 kilometers and 3,810 meters of altitude is your letter. Held the last weekend of September with output in Devon, southwest England.
And is that one of the main characteristics of the routes in England are their slopes. For those most enthusiastic recommendation increases, the book "100 Greatest cycling climbs (English guide increases for road cyclists), written by Simon Warren and recently published by Cycling weekly (can be purchased online through http://cyclingweekly.ipcshop.co.uk/ ). Precisely this prestigious British magazine made a now legendary series was called "Killer climbs" (Upload killer).
For our part, we found many of them in the four-day meeting BIG, searching and researching English increases that are in the superlative, making a lot of miles by car and by bike to get to the bottom of them. In this article we'll present a few of the climbs we did, perhaps the hardest, but there are people who went home with up to 25 BIGS in the backpack.
On our trip to England also could do some of the routes through which flowed the historic (though not as old) Wincanton Classic, held from 1989 to 1993, also called Leeds Classic from 1994 to 1996 and explored in runs some of the increases emblematic of the area, as Holme Moss used to be placed in the final kilometers and it was decisive.
When I travel with my bike time flies. Without realizing it was Sunday. Again played the rush to get back to the low-cost flight, but this time without the car that had crumpled on Saturday night. That means that Jesus, the photographer had to lug all the stuff (including box board where to put the bike) to a place where we gather. The next day we had, by necessity, to test the quality of British public transport, had to arrive by train and bus to the airport. So now you see me rushing out the best in the morning, removing the bicycle inside the train and putting it in the cardboard box to the disbelief of other passengers. To viewers, I seemed to have zero mechanical skills mutated into a rare skill in assembling and disassembling of the bike. Outside saddle, pedals off, allen here, duct tape there. Perfect! When I'm ready I turn around and see all the paper bubbles out of the box and therefore unprotected change. As I said!
To conclude a bumpy ride as we only have the appearance of the now famous volcanic dust cloud that forced Liverpool stay on longer than expected. So I had to spend 24 additional hours in Liverpool. And, horror, without the bike, which was already packed. The solution was to do some sightseeing and planted on a brave face. What we see in Liverpool? The classic: the Beatles museum and Anfield. Fantastic. But also we approached the beach in Crosby, north of Liverpool, where we witness a spectacular sunset from over 100 statues ghostly that make up a wonderful piece of art and disturbing. It's called Another Place and is the work of Antony Gormley. In the pictures I refer.

Kirkstone Pass
This was the first rise of our meeting in BIG and set the tone for what we were going to find these days in England. The civil engineers are not complicated life: tremendous line up and that's it, no complications. The slope of Ambleside is known as "The Struggle" (struggle). Needless to say, nothing more. A straight type endless stairs, alternating ramps up to 18% with some sections more affordable. Above we expect the Kirkstone Pass Inn (The Kirkstone pass inn.) Data

twins. Probably the hardest thing in England. Just look at the profiles to realize that talk of rising out of the ordinary. Between the two draw an M with slopes hard from the outside and a shallow valley in the middle. You will see that there are two kilometers Hardknott followed more than 13% and ramps up to 30%, as indicated by traffic signs. We chained by the slopes of Ambleside. First Wrynose, with a full kilometer to 15.8% and then Hardknott also very hard for the short side. Of course, also had to try hard side and Hardknott Hence we set out on a dangerous decline exaggerated by the slope. Around and up. In the pictures you can account for the enormous effort that beat their seats. And a reverse curve, the breath goes to the maximum, and almost cry when you think you are not going to get finally get up. Terrible. The toughest competition for Wrynose takes it as Cycling Weekly.

Remmington 870 Supermag For Sale
Circuits Tour 2010, the new habitat
(Posted on n. 14 of the magazine PdlPro) Photo Sergi Ros
(Posted on n. 14 of the magazine PdlPro) Photo Sergi Ros The Circuit de Catalunya hosted the final of the 90th edition of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya, on Sunday 28 March in a final stage that started from the place where the future will be located Parc Esport Internacional de Catalunya, next to the Car of San Cugat del Vallés. Last year, in the 89 th edition of "Volta", it was the first time at Montmelo circuit, which was his debut as a test scenario high-level international cycling, seeing the success of New Zealander Greg Henderson Columbia team.
In 2010 the Tour has come back to the Circuit, this time in a much more attractive to the public. If last year's runners arrived at the circuit and directly contest the sprint, this year favored the show and the brokers should give 8 laps. The getaway Zubeldia and Roy encouraged competition and entertained the few hundred spectators attended to see the final stage and the Volta. As usual, the pack perfectly measured the distance and caught the escapees in the absence of a return. The coming to sprint resolved with the triumph of Saxo Bank's Argentine Juan Jose Haedo. And then, usually occupying the podium riders and drivers of Formula 1 was once occupied the three top finishers in the Volta a Catalunya: Joaquim Rodríguez, Xavier Tondo and Taaramae Rein. Two Catalan three winners. A great success for the Catalan cycling, no doubt. But not only in sports. The inclusion of the Circuit de Catalunya in the Volta tour is also a great success.
The introduction of cycling tours and motorcycle racing is a recurrent event, and more often than one might think at first. Without going any further, the Dutch circuit of Assen (considered as the Cathedral of Motorcycling) hosted the start of the Tour of Spain 2009, in an individual time trial victory for Fabian Cancellara. The steps of the circuit had an excellent appearance and intensity with which the Dutch lived that prologue served in advance of the passion with which the Dutch followed the three stages of the Tour in the Netherlands.
Also last year's Tour de France Grand Depart in Monaco, stepped onto the Formula 1 circuit in Monte Carlo in his prologue. As you know, the Monte Carlo circuit is a street circuit, so that their movement is not permanent, and the 15 miles that comprised the initial test of the 2009 Tour was traveling about half what would be the racing circuit. The riders paraded through much of the circuit and its legendary sites (Rascasse, Sainte-Dévote, The Casino, Mirabeau ...). Does the winner of the prologue? If it is a time trial and ran a Swiss! Then Cancellara won! But let
. Who can forget the World Cycling Championships Mario Cipollini won in Zolder 2002? The world on a flat circuit, designed for the Lion King which was resolved as planned. Freire sorry for the incident on the last lap, because that year may have given a scare Cipolllini. The circuit of Zolder, also known as Terlaemen is a racetrack extension of 3,977 meters located in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium. It was built in 1963 and hosted the Belgian Grand Prix Formula 1 on 10 occasions during the 1970 and 1980. The Canadian driver Gilles Villeneuve died in a collision this circuit for the classifications in the Belgian Grand Prix 1982. Following
Belgium, probably not too well known fact, but Liege Bastogne Liege runs through a part of the Spa Francorchamps circuit, since this is a semi-permanent circuit that joins the town of Spa Francorchamps, Malmedy and Stavelot. Over the years, the layout of the circuit was modified several times until reaching the current 6.973 km. Name Spa circuit is to imagine the legendary Eau Rouge-Raidillon: slow after crossing the La Source hairpin, drivers accelerate by a straight downhill after which they must deal with a rise to a series of zigzag curves (the first of which Eau Rouge is) that end in a reverse blind.
Spa Francorchamps was also the scene of a final stage of the Tour de France, 1989, in particular stage 3, with the victory of Raul Alcala, Mexico's best racer of all time.
And if you have named the Zolder circuit, it should be clear that the inclusion of speed circuits World Championships Road Fund has a long tradition. The same circuit Zolder and saw the cycling World Cup in 1971. And before the Montlhery racetrack in France (1933), Reims in France (1947-1958), Zandwoort in Holland (1959), and Imola in Italy (1968, with home win Vittorio Adorni). The Nurburgring circuit in Germany has seen no less than three World Cups, 1927, 1966 and 1978 and is going to be one of the toughest circuits with demanding steep slopes.
special mention of Lasarte and Montjuic circuit. Lasarte Circuit hosted the Grand Prix of Spain racing 10 times in the decades of 1920 and 1930 and he held the cycling world in 1965 in which Tom Simpson slipped the rainbow jersey. In the case of Montjuic (where Felice Gimondi won in 1973 and Claude Criquielion in 1984) should be noted that without being a permanent racetrack does have a long tradition of racing among which 24 hours Montjuic motorcyclists. Incidentally, in 2009, taking advantage of the arrival of the Tour de France to Barcelona, \u200b\u200brecovered those mythical 24 hours Montjuic riders that raced in the 60 and 70, but this time by bike. This year 2010 marks the second edition of cycling 24 hours on 4 and 5 September in a drive circuit for the Barcelona Olympic mountain.
The Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, Imola Not only was the scene of the World 1968, but that 2009 also saw the conclusion of the Italian Championship with victory for Pozzatto, in the same manner as in 1988, which was also the scene of the Italian championship, the victory went to Pierino Gavazzi. What of Imola, a tragic scenario where the Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna died after losing control of his Williams at the Tamburello curve and crashed into a cement wall on May 1, 1994. Imola has also been the scene of the late stage of the Giro in 1968, the 15 th stage saw the triumph of Marino Basso, and the Giro in 1992 (the first of Indurain), with a stage completed in Imola and triumph of Roberto Pagnin.
Cycling and circuitry are intended to speed their meeting point. Precisely in the days before the arrival of the Volta a Catalunya Circuit, the Catalan Cycling Federation reached an agreement so that cyclists can ride at the Circuit de Catalunya. This is great news for cyclists and cyclists Catalans, who in this way can roll in peace without having to be aware of cars and other vehicles that the rider feel like an intruder on the road. With a total distance of more than five miles, it is a complete circuit, with two steep slopes that put the sauce on the circuit already entertaining, with its unique way of "croissant". It is a pleasure to train there and join in one of the many squads that are mounted. And for cycling children is a gold mine. Power train without risk to children is a clear investment in the future.
The Circuit de Catalunya is a public facility, whose ownership belongs to the consortium formed by the Generalitat of Catalonia, the Royal Automobile Club of Catalunya (RACC) and the city of Catalunya. This arrangement allows the operation of an installation at a time of low occupancy. For the modest price of 5 Euros (there is a monthly fee of 25 Euros), you can access the Circuit every Tuesday and every Thursday from 18.30 until 22.00 hours. This will be possible throughout the year (except in special cases), although it should be borne in mind that during the winter should be circular with lights, because this is Dubai and the circuit is not fully illuminated.
After the bad news in recent years, with the disappearance of the Setmana and climbing Montjuic, at the Catalan cycling sport is in very good health as shown by Joaquim Rodriguez and Xavier Tondo. Hopefully the agreement of the FCC and the Circuit de Catalunya to be sustained and become another great news for the Catalan cycling.
In 2010 the Tour has come back to the Circuit, this time in a much more attractive to the public. If last year's runners arrived at the circuit and directly contest the sprint, this year favored the show and the brokers should give 8 laps. The getaway Zubeldia and Roy encouraged competition and entertained the few hundred spectators attended to see the final stage and the Volta. As usual, the pack perfectly measured the distance and caught the escapees in the absence of a return. The coming to sprint resolved with the triumph of Saxo Bank's Argentine Juan Jose Haedo. And then, usually occupying the podium riders and drivers of Formula 1 was once occupied the three top finishers in the Volta a Catalunya: Joaquim Rodríguez, Xavier Tondo and Taaramae Rein. Two Catalan three winners. A great success for the Catalan cycling, no doubt. But not only in sports. The inclusion of the Circuit de Catalunya in the Volta tour is also a great success.
The introduction of cycling tours and motorcycle racing is a recurrent event, and more often than one might think at first. Without going any further, the Dutch circuit of Assen (considered as the Cathedral of Motorcycling) hosted the start of the Tour of Spain 2009, in an individual time trial victory for Fabian Cancellara. The steps of the circuit had an excellent appearance and intensity with which the Dutch lived that prologue served in advance of the passion with which the Dutch followed the three stages of the Tour in the Netherlands.
Also last year's Tour de France Grand Depart in Monaco, stepped onto the Formula 1 circuit in Monte Carlo in his prologue. As you know, the Monte Carlo circuit is a street circuit, so that their movement is not permanent, and the 15 miles that comprised the initial test of the 2009 Tour was traveling about half what would be the racing circuit. The riders paraded through much of the circuit and its legendary sites (Rascasse, Sainte-Dévote, The Casino, Mirabeau ...). Does the winner of the prologue? If it is a time trial and ran a Swiss! Then Cancellara won! But let
. Who can forget the World Cycling Championships Mario Cipollini won in Zolder 2002? The world on a flat circuit, designed for the Lion King which was resolved as planned. Freire sorry for the incident on the last lap, because that year may have given a scare Cipolllini. The circuit of Zolder, also known as Terlaemen is a racetrack extension of 3,977 meters located in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium. It was built in 1963 and hosted the Belgian Grand Prix Formula 1 on 10 occasions during the 1970 and 1980. The Canadian driver Gilles Villeneuve died in a collision this circuit for the classifications in the Belgian Grand Prix 1982. Following
Belgium, probably not too well known fact, but Liege Bastogne Liege runs through a part of the Spa Francorchamps circuit, since this is a semi-permanent circuit that joins the town of Spa Francorchamps, Malmedy and Stavelot. Over the years, the layout of the circuit was modified several times until reaching the current 6.973 km. Name Spa circuit is to imagine the legendary Eau Rouge-Raidillon: slow after crossing the La Source hairpin, drivers accelerate by a straight downhill after which they must deal with a rise to a series of zigzag curves (the first of which Eau Rouge is) that end in a reverse blind.
Spa Francorchamps was also the scene of a final stage of the Tour de France, 1989, in particular stage 3, with the victory of Raul Alcala, Mexico's best racer of all time.
And if you have named the Zolder circuit, it should be clear that the inclusion of speed circuits World Championships Road Fund has a long tradition. The same circuit Zolder and saw the cycling World Cup in 1971. And before the Montlhery racetrack in France (1933), Reims in France (1947-1958), Zandwoort in Holland (1959), and Imola in Italy (1968, with home win Vittorio Adorni). The Nurburgring circuit in Germany has seen no less than three World Cups, 1927, 1966 and 1978 and is going to be one of the toughest circuits with demanding steep slopes.
special mention of Lasarte and Montjuic circuit. Lasarte Circuit hosted the Grand Prix of Spain racing 10 times in the decades of 1920 and 1930 and he held the cycling world in 1965 in which Tom Simpson slipped the rainbow jersey. In the case of Montjuic (where Felice Gimondi won in 1973 and Claude Criquielion in 1984) should be noted that without being a permanent racetrack does have a long tradition of racing among which 24 hours Montjuic motorcyclists.

Hiv Test Negative After80 Days
Rider The Wheel albiceleste Cycling in the Holy Land
(Published in the Journal PdlPro n.14) Photos
Sergi Ros When it comes to cyclists in Spain from Argentina in the squad the first thing that comes to mind is the hispanoargentino Juan Antonio Flecha, born in Junin, Buenos Aires on September 17, 1977, but with 11 years emigrated to Spain and is now a Catalan among us. Atypical, yes, by that love the classic, buckler and cold. Argentina seems more than Belgium.
is also easy for us to come to mind pistards that have achieved outstanding ratings as Juan Esteban Curuchet, Walter Perez, Dario Colla ... And is that the tradition of the track in Argentina is very important than road cycling. We can not easily forget the gold medal Juan Esteban Curuchet and Walter Perez at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games in the form of Madison. Especially since relegated to second place in our pairing of Tauler and Llaneras.
However, the main representative of cycling in Europe Argentine Juan Jose Haedo, Chascomús cyclist born on January 26, 1981. The path of Juan Jose Haedo in recent years has been the reason the Dane Bjarne Riis as the year 2007 relied on the powerful Argentinian sprinter for Team CSC. Its passage by the American team Toyota he was a great experience and a good number of victories, especially in the Tour of California and the Tour de Georgia. And once in the CSC, its victories are numerous, among which we highlight the Clasica Almeria 2008, GP de Cholet-Pays de Loire in 2009 and this year 2010 has started very strongly with their victories in the Tour of Cologne in the Tour of Bombay ( the first professional cycling race in India recognized by the International Cycling Union) and the last stage of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya.
Argentine family sagas are a tradition. The Curuchet, the borage, Alexandre. And now Haedo. As part of a long line rider because his father was a famous pistard Argentina (Juan Carlos Haedo). Lucas Sebastian Haedo is the next in the saga that happened to professionalism. Born April 18, 1983, came to Spain 17 years and ran as a juvenile at the Estrella de Levante and then ran five years in the Diputación de León. Became professional in 2009 with the modest Colavita-Sutter Home, and there obtained two victories, one in the Tour de San Luis. The year 2010 has made the leap to a great team with his brother Juan José in Saxo Bank, which resides in Girona, part of the colony of Americans settled in the city where Armstrong also had residence.
The Tour de San Luis is another example of the good health of the Argentine cycling. A test that takes place in January taking advantage of the Argentine summer but with the competition of the Tour Down Under in Australia. A sample of the emerging level This test is the victory of Vicenzo Nibali in this edition of 2010, a top ten rider in the Tour de France 2009. Another important race to highlight is the Double Bragado. Lucas Haedo
debut at this year's Giro d'Italia, nice challenge to face in the first year of the great. And without the company of his brother may be able to get into the sprint with Freire, Petacchi and company. So did the Tour de Romandie, where he completed his set-up for the Giro.
The last of the Argentines who has passed the professional field is Jorge Montenegro, born in Mar del Plata on May 7, 1983. After a successful spell at the elite, which includes Spain's Cup victories in 2009 with Aitzondo and Legazpi became a professional team in the Vuelta Andalucía Cajasur to Portugal last year. An important man in his career has been the coach Fernando Devecchi, which has always relied on George and he was instrumental in its passage to professionals, Fernando was once as sporting director Andalucía Cajasur, following the resignation of Juan Martínez Oliver.
Argentina Jorge wine, runs for Andalusia and lives in Tenerife, a curious mix of destinations. The races you feel more comfortable is the evidence of a passing day and with the professionalism this year 2010 has been its debut in the classic Northern Europe. Evidence not yet in Category Out of ICU, but on the weekend of Drenthe (Netherlands). The result? A seventh place in the Albert Profonde van Drenthe, the first time that George ran in northern Europe and eventually paving so cold ... A fantastic performance.
How far are these days running at Mar y Sierra, those races narrated by Jorge Sequeira and those weekends at the home of Héctor Loscalzo, president of the club. The tiny Montenegro is already among the largest and delivery will, sure, a lot of joy to Andalusia Cajasur.
And we can not forget the pioneers. Martin Garrido and Maximiliano Richeze are other Argentines have been racing in Europe in recent years. Martin Garrido ran 10-year career, including three in the English team Relax Mattress and Portugal last year, getting more prominent as a victory of the Tour de San Luis, 2008, while Maximilian Richeze, also a fast man, was involved in an issue of doping in the Tour of 2008, after winning two stages and had to leave the competition.
For Argentine cyclists coming years are now coming to the national cycling. And they are doing successfully. Baqué cafes recently signed running back Daniel Diaz, and already have been started to bear fruit. Three almost consecutive wins in one week: Beasaín, Estella and Palencia. For his part, Maurice Muller has spent years in Catalonia and getting good results, and sharing with Joan Llaneras grupete. This year the team runs Azysa CEYA Conor and still waiting for a possible transition to professionalism, it would be well deserved.
Argentina is going strong. Not as much as the national soccer team, the sport that there is religion. But the level is getting higher and great results will not be long in coming.
To conclude, a nice curiosity. Just the day we agreed on the photo with the three Argentines in the professional peloton (that you can seen along this line), that day Juan Jose Haedo won the Circuit de Catalunya, in the final stage of the Volta a Catalunya. Amazing coincidence. And gave us a beautiful picture with his arms raised while a teammate held up his hands behind him. Someone shot him and as he was so happy. His brother.

Isee Test And The California Standards Tests
(Published in the Journal n.35 BB) Foreword
Leaving Barcelona after the snowstorm in early March with an icy atmosphere. Within hours of us stand at the other end of the Mediterranean with a temperature difference greater than 25 degrees. Upon arrival to receive the bikes were going to meet this week pedaling by Israel. This time our traveling companion was not to be the skinny road, but it would be a multi-suspension Mountain Bike Front and rear rack, which was far in features and weight of our company standard. But you and I move to Israel is a singular destination that deserves to be enjoyed walking and enjoying the city, riding on the roads and, of course, discovering their desert riding a mountain bike.
Chapter 1. The old Jaffa and Tel Aviv modern
started by a pleasant walk along the coast. From the beginning we saw that this was not would be a trip too physically demanding, but who wants crushed when there is so much to see, to discover, to learn?
the first day of urban cycling discovered the ancient city of Jaffa and our guide explained that the city formed a single municipality with Tel Aviv, and was the site of the first loss Napoleon in his campaign for East. We also know the youth of Israel's most cosmopolitan city: Tel Aviv, which was founded at the beginning of S XX. A city entirely Western. Only the Caramel Market, whose visit is fully recommended, reminds us that we Middle East. Another interesting attraction is the Museum of the Diaspora
same day evening we found the bike path that connects Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. About 75 kilometers
Night of Tel Aviv is a myth among young Israelis, but we prefer to save some energy for tomorrow. But the information is there for whoever wants to exploit.
Chapter 2. Caesarea, Mount Caramel
is the first real day of cycling out of city. The van left us in the vicinity of Caesarea, where we see a stunning seaside aqueduct that supplied water to the city and that was over 7 kilometers
Haifa, but the plan originally we make a change, which involves the ascent of Mount Caramel, which rises to
After falafel, fast descent into Haifa since there we expect Emilio Roitman, an Argentine who is the director general of the Israel Federation
Chapter 3. Warships in the border
pedals We first day Rosh Nikra, the northernmost point of the Israeli coast on the border with Lebanon. With a cable car can be lowered to sea level to see the caves that have formed in limestone, following the continuous beating of the waves. Interesting, but what surprises us is that the warship is controlling the border with Lebanon. Then we went down south for a nice bike path along the coast. At times it seems to be in Catalunya, pedaling around Ampurias, for example, with the same scenery, same smells and ruins Roman on our side. At other times I go back to a different reality, past fields of fire or residential areas protected by barbed wire. I'm surprised the ease with which they take all this. But we bumps.
Finally we come to Acre (Akko), a World Heritage Site
Chapter 4 On the Mount of Olives and the Old City of Jerusalem
( Jesus Garcia Pastor Photography)
After sleeping and in Jerusalem, begins one day expected to visit Jerusalem and especially
From the vicinity of the hotel is the city of Bethlehem. We can not get closer to see the birthplace of Jesus Christ because Bethlehem is in Palestinian territory and that means that tourists can happen, but the Israelites. Jerusalem is where we met Aitor Azpiazu and his partner Keren Potash. Sightseeing with them and then share table and tablecloth. A real treat to have with us a guide who conveys an objective view of the complex situation prevailing in Jerusalem. And more than luxury to have an elite-level riding with us and talking cycling.
On the bike we visited the outside of the Parliament of Israel, the German district, Mount Scopus, and our bike tour ends at the Mount of Olives, where the panoramic
the afternoon and we parked the bikes and we are dedicated to visit
One day of emotions. Jerusalem deserves more than a day, but there is much to see and we have so little time ...
Chapter 5 The resistance of Massada and sunset in Scorpio
Another special day. A visit to Massada and the Dead Sea were two of my priorities trip to Israel, and another objective is to increase cycling to Arad. And the best was yet to be discovered. Definitely a day to remember.
traveled from Jerusalem to Arad in the car with bikes in tow. Along the way we pick up a bicycle touring adventure that tells her, that is to try to get from Tel Aviv to Cairo. A German who works in the United States has planned a route without a doubt full of problems and lacks only the strong air-blowing. Our help him a bit closer to your destination and let you near Arad, on his way to Be'er Sheva.
Once again we find Arad and also Aitor Libnah Niv, an elite racing Aitor and this April will professionals with a English team. Niv told us about his experiences after winning the Tour Israel. With them we share a few kilometers until they return to Arad and we continue to Massada, on a lonely road through the desert. A road with a clear downward trend that allows us to enjoy a unique landscape. We even stopped to visit a nomadic village. We reached the foot of Massada, where we have to go through a hard ramp in there to take the bike in tow, does not serve the mountain bike, because there are many steps that can move quickly to the top. From there, the Dead Sea views are unbeatable.
descended by cable car to the base of Masada on the other side (the Dead Sea), saving a drop of 600 meters
Chapter 6 Lot's wife and the sandstorm in the desert
(Photo Jesus Garcia Pastor)
The day begins very soon. The previous day tute Aitor not let me bathe in the Dead Sea, an obligation and it was there. Therefore, only the sun on the beach and follow the instructions I received. Do not stick your head under water and, of course, not to swallow water! The salinity of water is such that there is no life at sea. This is the most under the earth. The water is so dense it seems oil, and the flotation is complete, to the point that when you float it is difficult to put the legs under water. A strange feeling, surrounded by older people that uses the healing properties of Dead Sea. The hotel infrastructure in the area is brutal. This is a mix of Las Vegas, Benidorm ... What about Lourdes? For that, a mixture of these.
I take a good shower to remove any traces of salt and you're back on track. We take the van and go south direction. We note the salt from the Dead Sea shores and still see an impressive industry is "Dead Sea Works, one of the leading companies in Israel, for the extraction of salts and minerals from the Dead Sea. We also passed by the statue representing Salt Lot's wife. As told in the book of Genesis, when God would destroy Sodom and Gomorrah given the opportunity to flee to Lot and his family with the condition that they not look back. Lot's wife did not comply and was turned into a pillar of salt ...
We are about to begin the last stage. In it we discover the Negev Desert, glued to the Jordanian border. This area is absolutely dedicated to greenhouses which reminds me of the area of \u200b\u200bEl Ejido Almeria. We have in this area of \u200b\u200bthe desert (yes, in the desert, do not forget) is grown on 30% of fruits and vegetables that are consumed in Europe. Awesome. We passed through villages filled with Thais, who are working there and fight the high temperatures in the desert. We enjoy a tough stage with lots of wind, lots of sand and a menacing signs for minefields with us. You have to pedal hard and pray. Finally we had to pray. Was the fate of this trip!
And even with all the variety that we live was much to discover, from the Sea of Galilee to Mount Hermon, the highest altitude of the country. Israel is, without doubt, a land that deserves to be revisited.
