These last weeks, the island has ben blessed with some sorely needed rainfall, and it says thanks by exploding in colour and life everywhere.

The Escalada Pico de las Nieves race has finished for another year, and what dramatic edition this year!

The challenge of Everesting has been getting more attention than ever before in this turbulent year. We faced the beast as a team in one of the most beautiful climbs on the island.

Our team was represented at the first road event and first round of the Gran Fondo World Tour event of the 2020 season; the Epic Gran Canaria.

Shortly before Christmas, we had a few riders who got a head start earning that Christmas dinner...

The Gran Canaria Bike Week: La Cicloturista has concluded for another year, and was great event, bringing cyclists from all over Europe to this glorious cycling haven. We were there to soak up the atmosphere :)

With this years event looming, here's a little wrap up of how the race went last year.. !

Day 3 and 4 of the Alpine crossing. Few road names resonate more profoundly than Passo dello Stelvio. Amidst several climbs longer than it, a blissful mountain journey takes a harrowing turn..

Day 1 & 2 of a planned 5 day traverse from Praz-sur-Arly (near-ish Geneva) to Berchtesgaden. Through France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and finally Germany.

Yesterday the challenge for the year finally arrived: the Tour du Mont Blanc. I heard about the race from my friend Artur, and the stats say it all: 330km. 8000m elevation gain. Three countries. One day....!!

It was a long time since my last race, but it’s always good to have a goal in mind to keep you focused. This philosophy can be translated to all aspects of life – have a goal, a vision of where you see yourself, and the decisions you make on your journey will take you closer to that goal.

Last week was huge. We got a pleasant surprise visitor, Mike Cotty, from The Col Collective. He's a passionate cyclist as myself. Through a week of riding together we exchanged a lot of experience and personal stories and became good friends. But this story is about one of those many epic rides we had over that week.

Finally it was time for the marathon challenge of the winter season. This was the third Ayagaures MTB marathon and I’ve been there in all of them. The first year, my form was really bad. I had come from a difficult situation and was not prepared to race. It also didn’t make it much easier that the weather turned crazy with 6 degrees and hailstorm during the event.
