Somnis?
Jo no ho sé, de ser un altre moment, seria per a mi, i tant que sí, i tant que sí.
Dies de Single Speed, de Belt Drive.

El vermell el color de moda a casa
I el verd, sí, però els darrera tres dies a casa s'imposa el vermell intens.
Això fa que recuperem bé, després d'un juliol intens, vindrà un agost intens, sí, però ara descansant, d'aquí a minuts Spa, AA, cinema-TV, piscina, què més puc demanar?
Ahir anant al Spa, a la cerca d'en Harry, brut 71, fort 73. Com sona, com dona, no perquè m'agradi a data d'avui, sí perquè ja són dos clàssics.
La imatge és un premi al descans, i tant que sí, i tant que sí.
Més important que pedalar, descansar molt i molt bé.
Dies de molt de Single Speed.
Clàssic actual
No es un contra sentir en cap cas.
Ventana, marca de referència del MTB.

El nom de la marca, de les bikes, bé, aquesta és una altra història, certament, certament. Però això no tapa en cap cas les seves magnífiques creacions.

Moments ... in Colorado (XF)
I said in the last "Moments ... in Colorado" that the some of best memories of my trip where around this coffee place in Crested Butte. I'll explain ...
Thursday, July 4th
I was driving from Telluride to Gunnison, where I had a reservation for two nights. Gunnison is a town really close to Crested Butte, with a best location once I had to move forward on my trip. I arrived to Gunnison around 6pm, with the idea to drive directly to Crested Butte to see the 4th of July fireworks. Oh, surprise, they were cancelled as the weather on the last days was so dry, they had a huge risk of forest fire.
Thinking about what to do, my only option to see fireworks was to stay in Gunnison, so I did. The city (small town or village) is the typical west American one, where the main street is directly a 5 lane road crossing from one side to the other. And the fireworks where ready in a small park almost in front of my hotel ... the fire department was ready, as conditions were really dry, and a big truck was placed in the middle of the road. Big surprise, the truck was not there to throw some water if needed, it was 4th of July, so there was a more important function to accomplish ...
Once I was back on my hotel room, I decided to try a crazy idea, sending a short message using Facebook to XF, catalan guy living in Crested Butte. Honestly, I was thinking it was a lost of time, as maybe he was out of town, or even he was not going to look on his Facebook page that night, but it was worth a try.
Friday, July 5th
I wake up on my room early morning, and prepared my bag with the camera to drive up to Crested Butte, when I was packing my phone rang, it was a local number, and oh surprise, a catalan voice on the other side of the line answer my "Hello this is Javier" with a "Bon dia, que fas a Gunnison?" ... some minutes later I was on my way to meet XF, oh my God, I don't know how many times I thought I will love to live on that amazing place from where he was opening a window for all the bikers in my country !!!!
Once I arrived to Crested Butte, I called him again ... "Hey, soc al parking de l'entrada del poble ... XF: continua, tomba a l'esquerra pel carrer principal, quan arribis a 1st street i un petit parking, jo sere alla" ... two minutes later I was almost there and a thin guy, with a black shirt was waving his hand. XF was there, he answered my Facebook message, and was ready to spend with my almost three hours on a Friday morning. I will be always thankful for his hospitality, and as I said to him, my house will be always open for him or his family.
We walked all Crested Butte, talking about live, about what drove us to this country, about our experiences far away from Catalonia, about a lot of things...and incredible, maybe just a 10% of our conversation turned around MTB.
All that we discussed and talked about will remain in my mind for a long time, and I will keep this for me, but I can say here, he is a brave man, somebody who moved 28 years ago to a small town in the Rockies, with nothing on his pockets, to start a new live.
This is my small present to XF, he made my day and my trip better than I ever thought it will be.
From SC, Xavi Paricio ... in fact this is how I close all my posts, and it was an idea I took from all his articles years ago.

Descansant
I pet tant la The Motivator avui tampoc volarà.
Són quasi les set del matí, avui és la porta d'entrada a un agost que hauria d'estar ple de sortides de bike.
No diré com juliol, crec que ens serà difícil tornar a fer un mes com aquest de bike, no imposible, sí difícil de repetir, certament, certament.
Toquen al campanar de SV les 7 del matí, mtb, mtb, mtb.
Ahir vaig aprofitar per a reconduir en lo possible l'alimentació.
Un dia de respecte quasi absolut a una dieta mediterrània, a on els iogurts naturals del Caprabo, són els únics que han fet saltar la banca.
Toquen al campanar dos quarts de vuit.
Avui és un dia diferent, vell, l'entrada a l'agost és característica per a mi, nosaltres a aquestes dates sempre hem fet operacions especials, molt especials, ara però avui, és un dia especial, sí, però d'entrada amb un to molt diferent, molt diferent.
Quina sensació més curiosa, un divendres i no hi ha activitat, no bike, no despatx.
Crec que avui i ja des dels propers minuts arranca un dia Spa.
MTB, MTB, MTB.
Són tres quarts de vuit del matí, i el semàfor indica que la bike de ser, queda ja per demà.
L'agost, quin caràcter més contradictori, té to marcadament festiu, i nosaltres no fem vacances, però com gaudim què sigui el mes de les vacances per a una gran majoria de persones.
Gaudiren com feia molt de temps que no ho recordava fer, i no perquè no en gaudíssim, si no perquè encara en gaudirem més.
Toca fer un bon esmorzar, perquè els dos primers cafès del dia ja han sigut, un a quarts de set, un ara fa uns minuts.
Dies de Single Speed.
Ahir a la nit va ser un vespre HM, quantes propostes de bikes, totes interessants, sorprenents. Que bé poser-ne gaudir, que bé, que bé, que bé.
Al Spa no hi ha WIFI, hi haurem de posar remei, oi que si?

El què deia
Tardaré temps a poder assimilar tantes velles novetats.

MTB, MTB, MTB.
Descansant de bike, i demà també, demà també de tot, excepcionalmet tot el dia de descans, mtb, mtb, mtb.
Ara al vespre cercant recanvis, equipaments, les bosses de transport de les bikes, quants propòsits per portar a terme. Quina aventura aquesta de Canberra, OMG, OMG, OMG.
