the AIGUA BONA.
Last Saturday I participated in my 2nd gear cyclist this year, coinciding with the 2 nd time he participated in the Bonaigua.
Pobla reached the 1 hour before departure, there and I met with several team members, Bernat, Jordi, Sergi, Angel ...
prepare everything and catacrack! Jose, in an attempt to change the saddle height, you will break the screw clamp on the post, go bad luck!
immediately went to the org. to see if we could solve the problem but nothing.
Albert and Juanito, stayed with him and after 2 or 3 minutes of the start, left them with the stem sealed Jose, and he could not fix otherwise.
were doing a good space heater relay, to podernos achieve.
were shot fast the first 60 km, it is rarely down to 35 kph.
port at the beginning is a little behind me in the big package and started to climb the Bonaigua podeer ligerita to go from people ... but ... the spark lasted just me note that my feet were not gradually i I climbed a snail's pace.
Albert had to close at all times and raising the Bonaigua, we made a 1 st stop technique, if not burst!
serious rain fell, as almost all the increase was quite wet.
crowned and played down to Viella, Albert stayed in the provisioning and I continue, take the opportunity here to eat something and cover myself a little.
anything else down, I meet Johnny, that he had caaido the camera with the bottle, getting is between the tire and the chainstay!
review damage and continue to go down ... cold! had frozen feet.
Viella ... we go heat! plays shed clothing. begins the ascent towards the tunnel. which start at a good pace going people, but in the avituallammiento before entering the tunnel I have to download this, and that was all gone and I could not get comfortable. then i pass me Angel encourages me but I can not get into his rhythm i let myself fall again.
before entering the tunnel, Juanito I hunted with a group. he and another escape within and I'm pulling the little group to the middle of the tunnel, where I reach Sergi, who ascended alone. I keep trying to climb alguine close to give some relief. did not work, so turn down the pace and encunete me, so there was no other.
get to the top of the tunnel, Juanito is going down alone, it rained hard and the wind was against it. try some relief but the only thing I get is tired and slow down the group ... so we apply the tactic CBR.
and so we did, Johnny and the Kid hid in the peloton and herding!
;-) I do not like that attitude, but that day I was not to support in relays, so ...
we go down and come to Pont de Suert, where the last comenazmos up and Perbes Viu ports.
here the great package is broken completely.
and climb and as I can because the cramps start to make an appearance.
is short but tough, even going so I can go to any other participant. Viu and I get little break down and then go up again and do the last mile of the climb to Perbes.
far I can see Johnny in the final supplies, jerry cans and fill that fa Avalle Baixada.
went down pretty fast
to Senterada and there could bind to a small group of about 5 for the last 10 km to the Pobla address.
were already painful cramps and everything, almost lost the group to stretch the adductors, still try to ignore the pain and kept on pedaling, go kill, or to go to win lol!
not wanting to be alone I did tighten them teeth, Soon cramps disappeared.
try to give some relief but there was one in the group who threw very hard, I mean I gave it and new brakes. so back to wheel, no more.
we Pobla and 3 to the group to sprint jajajaj ... that pathetic, it was with more rhythm than anything else ... well, it was fun!
my gps failure in the tunnel, and I reckon they were about 6 km 191km + to 7 minutes more than last year. 6'23 h.
happy to have finished next to Johnny, who just had a long run of 130 km ... to you I Paracas and above 3000 and I had to wait!
also happy that Jose was able to fix after searching through several stores Viella, the problem with clamp. his tiny little adventure, something happens every year ... this must be addressed!
Albert, could also round off the track but today I think it drags a bit consequ (¨) gums of climatology, Get Well ;-)
phenomenon
