Ending up the scholar year

As it is becoming a tradition we ended up our rides climbing up to el Cogulló, one of the highest hills between l'Anoia and el Bages. It took long to get to the summit but it paid off. Such  stunning views from up there!
The summary of the day is; 50 km and almost 1000 meters of elevation gain...NOT BAD AT ALL!!

Enjoy your summertime and keep in shape! we have new challenges waiting for us in september!!!

new track through Tous to Jorba

We spent a good time and ride discovering new single tracks and crossing creeks in the best weather, well, actually, just a few of us rode through those woods for the first time because Navas brothers were in charge of the route and for the record, they did it great!
I would like to highlight  in what a good shape our rookie Iker is, he could make it ( almost 35 km) with no moaning.
Congrats Kid!!
here you have the pics of the day and the track.!

new rides new tracks


We started the new year with enthusiasm and the will to discover new parts of the county, and by all means that we did it!
We found an interesting track uploaded on wikiloc and it gave us the chance to enjoy one of the most awesome single track around Montbui, an enjoyable slide of 1.5 km.
Yestarday we rode the longest track so far this year, it was a 30km ride,beside, it had an elevation gain of almost 700 meters. The upside was that there were no tough slopes up.
The track went through many places we had been before, but it also gave us the opportunity to enjoy the views of the Urpi quarrel.
Here you've got some pics and the tracks!

Last rides of the year!


We bid farewell to the 2016 year with some rides all around the county. We rode up to la Tossa, the Mills, and some other stunning single tracks that Navas showed us. We are glad to tell you that we have a new rider with us; Alejandro Pérez, who in his first ride couldn't believe all the beauty environment there is around Montbui.
The most exciting day was when we did our first night ride, we all have new lights for our bikes, and it was awesome to see the group pedalling all along the path in the dark, we looked like a lightning bug!!

 Hope you all have a happy new year!



                                        we met some new friends in our way back!
                                                        Enjoying the views
                                                             Testing the lights

                                                                Ready to go!

New scholar year, let's ride again!

We are back to school again, and we couldn't miss the opportunity to gather the crew and go riding!
We have two new kids riding with us so far, but we are expecting, at least, one more.
Let me introduce them to you:

Iker, he is the youngest one, being just 12 years old, he 's very capable to follow the team everywhere!

David. He is studying third of ESO, he is getting in shape fast! he claimed he loved riding because it gives him the chance to discover new trails and part of the county he did not know.

Welcome both of you!!

Here you have some pics of the first days:

Binge riding


We really had a binge riding last Monday. Just a few of us gathered to ride for the last time this scholar year, that's because the Piñero brothers couldn't joint us due the bunch of exams and academic works to do they had this week, such a shame!
In exchange the other PE teacher, Magí, and Ruben, the older brother of the twins came to ride with us.
We started earlier than usual because we wanted to ride longer than ever, but it got out of control!!
Our plan was to ride to the Mills and once there head to Castellfollit del Boix using flat paths, the point is that everyone felt so strong that we rode down a slope to move uphill again to make it to the summit of the Cogulló. Cogulló is a mountain placed in Bages county ( I would say that it is the border between Bages and Anoia) with a stunning balcony that looks out to Montserrat and most of the Central Catalunya.

To sum up, we rode for 4 hours to ride 50 km and a height gain of 1200 meters.

Hoping to see you all on September boys! It's been a great year, but we have so many new paths to discover!

Here you have the pics of the day with all the braves who did it, and also the track!

Long trip to the mills


It was the last ride of the trimester and we decided to ride longer than our regular trips. We went to the mills, it's a wind farm placed at the top of a mountain rage close to Igualada. The trip to the summit was easy for those who have been riding regularly with the team, I can't say the same about some others!
I also have to highlight the presence of Ruben, the twin's older brother, who wanted to joint us and also help some of the kids to ride up some slopes.
We took advantage of him to learn some exciting single tracks near the wind farm and he also gave us some good advices to improve our descend skills.

If you want to learn more, check out the pics below!


Nice views
