The Journey

What can I say about this unbelievable journey ? If you told me a year ago that I would be cycling in the Himalayas I would have laughed on your face. Forget Himalayas, I never imagined I would cycle again to begin with. It told me we need catalysts in our life who without knowing trigger it within us, because that’s their role. To be that, to move us forward. They will never know it but that’s…

“My name is Graham Snowdon. I am now 75 years old and retired, but I was the second of three generations of our family to run Snowdon Sports, one of Britain’s longest established sports news agencies which still counts cycle racing among its specialist areas. Dick Snowdon, my father, founded the business in Doncaster in 1936, and by the 1950s and 1960s was Britain’s best known cycling journalist, operating from the first floor of the garage annexe at his home in Bessacarr. He was also a leading local official and for many years chairman of Doncaster Wheelers Cycling Club"

Doble Rio Hermoso, Patagonia

I want to talk about when I had the chance of racing in south America, last December. As I probably mentioned before my girlfriend she is Argentinian and this year we decided to go visiting her family for Christmas. It would been a long holiday abusing also of the few national days off everywhere between Christmas and new year. So we did, we spent 3 plus week over, in sunny and warm Patagonia, on  the southern hemisphere.

This time was my 3rd time in Argentina, and considering, the family of her lives there plus the 3 legs journey on a plane it is very laborious and expensive I decided to not bring my bike across, but to get a new one there to use for the time being and leave it for every time I will be visiting. I did my maths and trust me, was worth the effort doing in this way.

The day after my arrive I went to few local bike shop to see which were the options and what was available. After some indecision I finally made my mind up and bought an aluminium Specialize Allez, old shimano groupset with 16 gears but internal cabling and all in all decent bike for the budget I had in mind. 

Nico, the guy of Sun & Ski Sport, the shop where I got the bike anticipated me that the day after a race organized by Los Bomberos (the fire brigades) would have taken place in town involving lots of bike enthusiasts. How could I have possibly missed this opportunity, so with new bike and all my good intentions I accepted and went for it. Nico invited me the same day also for a ride with other local guys around and that one was a good opportunity to understand the quality of the field and become a good friend with them. The following day it was race day and at the start line a big mix of road cyclist and mtbiker were sharing the road. In fact there was the possibility to compete or with your road bike (70 km with 1400 of elevation) or mtb (50 km), so the route was the same, just shorter in one case. The peloton appeared since the beginning a mix of amatorial and elite cyclists. In  San Martin de Los Andes, the place where I was, there are lots of opportunity to do outdoor activity all year round  with fantastic trails, a lake and a ski resort nearby, so all the locals are very much actives and sportive guys. The race started with the peloton compact, but after the 5km the big climb began and few of us started peeling off from the leading group. I managed to remain in the second group and even with lots of suffering I managed to go through it and place 24th overall. Such an amazing experience that was, sharing the roads with people from literally another continent talking a different language and surrounded by the Andes. At that time of the year I definitely wasn’t in my best shape but thanks to my resiliency my body was able to sustain those 2h effort without any issues the day after. I am hoping to be able next year to repeat it and possibly get there more trained, just another one on the calendar. I love it like that.

आज का दिलचस्प किस्सा आज भी 30kmph हो गया 😀 मेरी गलती नहीं है वो तो रास्ते में प्रेमी युगल अपनी स्कूटी का मद्धम गति में आनंद लेते हुए जा रहे थे। वैसे भी प्रेम से बड़ा मोटिवेशन होता है। तो बस कभी वो ओवरटेक करे कभी मैं 🤣 खैर 10km तक ये सब होने के बाद उन्हें आगे ही जाने दिया पर यहां से जो मोमेंटम बन गया तो आज भी 30kmph अचीव हो गया। 🙂 क्या ही करे जब मोटर गाड़ी ही हमारी स्पीड पे चलना चाहती है तो 😜😜😜 . . . . @hero_cycles @real_runnersfitness @run2rejuvenate #riderscodestorytime #cyclestory #HeroCycles #WeekendRides #Cycling #Cyclinglife #biking #pollutionfree #planetearth #HeroSprintWeekendRides #HeroSprint #CycleMoreLiveMore #benefitsofcycling #environmentalbenefits #healthbenefits #blueskies #strava #cyclingclub #bikingstories #cyclingstories #cyclingheroes #cyclemorelivemore #joyofcycling #cycleforchange #weekendvibes #weekendscenes #challenge #monsoons #monsoonseason #monsoondiaries https://www.instagram.com/p/CRbqoi1HOo_/?utm_medium=tumblr

A wise decision and an awesome day - Part XII

A wise decision and an awesome day – Part XII

The moment I woke up, Archana still resting in bed said, ‘I am not doing it.’ And I was still in conflict. Well this is me. My stomach was making noises inside, it was not a good feeling and yet like an idiot I dressed up in my gear still indecisive, that’s me also. Archana to her credit didn’t push me to go nor goaded me to stay. It was my journey, my decision. I had to do that. Sonam called to…

Kannst du dich an deine allerersten Radfahrversuche erinnern? Die Konzentriertheit. Der Fokus. Die Unsicherheit? Und DER Augenblick in dem die Stimme hinter dir immer leiser wurde... "Ja! Du fährst! Du fährst alleine!!!" und plötzlich alles ganz einfach, frei und neu ist? Genau das hab ich am Samstag auf dem Liegerad gefühlt. Flashback Deluxe. Was für ein Glück als das feuerrote Vehikel plötzlich rollte - ganz einfach - mit mir!!! 🥁🚲✖️#sattelfest #eberswalde #fahrradbotschafterin #schoenerort #slowfootmovement #balance #fokus #ganzbeimir #malwasneues #fahrrad #fahrradfahren #spezialrad #liegerad #okcommuter #mompreneur #lifebehindbars #cyclingstories #hurradiegams #hurra #einfachrollen #allesfüreinenaugenblick #ichliebemeinenjob (hier: Eberswalde) https://www.instagram.com/fahrradbotschafterin/p/BvyPfL2F-dU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5ci4jexfo1hb

Posledních 14 mrazivých dnů bych pojmenoval jako cyklohardcore 🤔. Sníh, led, mrazivý vítr nebo sračky na silnici. Vzhledem k tomu, že jsem každý den na 🚴 můžu říct jak to je vyčerpávající. Na místě je zvýšená ostražitost, koncentrace a respekt k počasí. Pak se to dá, ale tohle počasí jako začátek sezóny rozhodně nedoporučuji. Je to opravdu náročné.
