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.

First race

Two of the kids of our team carried out their first race in Sant Joan de Vilatorrada. I have to emphasize that even though they were the youngest riders they did it pretty good, and they could finish in good positions.

The race was so technical that we all had to do our best, plus, the day before the race it rained all day long, so you can make your own picture of how muddy the tracks were!

Here you have some pics of the kids and teacher enjoying the provisioning stop.

The Wall

                                 Here you have the video we recorded playing on the wall.

All in single tracks

As you have seen in the posts before, we have got a twin brothers in our group, and let me tell you that they have an older brother who is a semi-pro bike rider and also a former student of our high school. Our twins were told to learn some new paths from his brother and lead us today, and they did it really good. They lead us without using the GPS, all by heart! and it had to be hard to remember because it was all through single tracks.

We enjoyed the ride and we also could enjoy the views from a natural balcony at the summit of a hill close to la Tosa.

Here you have some of the pics of the day!
