What Information Should Be Given In Poster?

ports, monuments and passion for cycling


(Published in the journal n.34 BB)

5 years ago I met Francis in a Terra Remences and spoke of the outputs that our club had done in the Pyrenees, the Alps and the Dolomites. What interested him and I liked writing the "diary" of those outings. The enjoyed (and now) long before they started looking for the tour and drawing profiles. Enjoy (and suffer now) while I was on the bike. And enjoy (I enjoy them just now) after completed, at the computer remembering the stories and the most interesting moments. It is a way to prolong that magical moment when you reach the top of a port and feel the king of the world. One thing led to another and soon I saw one of my articles appear in the magazine BB.

By that time I wanted to walk fast. Always van tail head of my club, but with them. But the family grew, the children get older, things get complicated and it is increasingly difficult to train enough to be on the level of young people.

However I became obsessed. Little by little I discovered that my space was different. A place to ride in places not very common. To escape the routine and find new roads. And that was interesting to Francis and Jon. In fact it was not interested particularly fast but I discovered some dark corner.

And here I am, that I can book a cheap flight and go with the bike somewhere where I've never been. And where can I upload a BIG. You get used to things of low cost. The rush, the weight of hand luggage, packing the bike, the cardboard box. How much inconvenience and stress. But the reward is so great ...

I feel good when I go fast, but I feel better when I discover new sites, when driving on roads that is not running before. And it has to be in the mountains, if nothing makes sense. Another of my goals are the monuments cyclists. Géant real monuments as the Tour is in the top of the Tourmalet or Catí Xorret cyclist, Eddy Merckx or in Stockeu. O fictional monuments such as those us this magazine from time to time, the source of St Marie de Campan, the forest of Arenberg, and the mythical Koppenberg.

When I do one of these outputs to find monuments or mountain top, try to keep everything. Capture every detail. I may not get the fact in the "agonizing suffering" that both had used before when I wanted to run more than necessary. Now do not compete against anyone. Perhaps against myself.

These

details the attempt to convey when I write. Although to testify that I have the privilege of having a photographer Sergi luxury that accompanies me and is witness to every landscape and every corner. He is able to see things that neither I nor you can. And the result are the pictures you see on BB. The Sergi, or Antxon or Pau. Yes, I admit, I sometimes I have not read the texts and I was only with the images.

I am satisfied with any of you, using some of the articles I wrote, has visited the Cathar castles in the southern France, or the hometown of Pantani, or the Millau Viaduct or somewhere in Germany. Only that I will be satisfied. That means I've been able to communicate even just a little bit of my passion for great cycling.

A passion that, as a reader, BB feeds whenever he is on the kiosk.
