(Recovery output dels February 2005)
A report on TV, the Crivillé, the Nani Roma, and other monsters of jet training by mountain bike, which looked a unique vantage point near Vilanova de Sau I had created some excitement to confirm I already knew, although over the years had spread a blanket of forgetfulness in my memory ...
So on Monday, taking advantage of that was a lovely evening, and however this route is relatively close to home, I decided to give me curls and get close to him ...
About three in the afternoon I left with Viladrau Folgueroles direction, a little over a km away from the edge of town towards Vilanova de Sau, before crossing a small bridge with a curve to the right, is perfectly suited a dirt road on the left with a sign that says "Cingles of Minyona" ...
The track is built on various parties, presents no problem, it extends sinuously in a pine forest about 2 kilometers approximately, with some slight ups and down, not very pronounced, indications of two white horizontal stripes a and red (GR) are pointing the way no doubt ...
Following the rise with a good cliff to the right, with a green guardrail with steel cables, a rise of about 3 km paved quite pronounced and leads us to a place where the road forks toward the left is a steep descent that takes us to various farmhouses, to the right is a small barrier of two plastic lined parts which transfers easily from there, the track is complicated somewhat, especially by the presence of puddles of mud-cream ...
And there happened what had to happen ...
Fear of falling has brought me little by little, trying to drive, forgetting that principle fundamental in the off-road that says, "when in doubt ... GASSSSS" and Nina does not tire of repeating ... I obviously found on the ground very muddy and muddy ... ... Fortunately we have not done anything the bike nor I, but that presented a serious problem, my previous experiences with the Transalp and BMW itself, does not bode well ...
In the middle of nowhere, with no mobile coverage, with no one around ... and I looked down to the road for help ... But ... I remembered a post I saw GStrail forum, about a girl who stood a K-75 it alone ...
I smoked a cigarette to calm ... and after a while I took the bike as recommended, on your back with knees bent, on the handlebars and the frame below the media pack, on the first try my feet are slipping in the mud, I thought not ... I could not ... but could do nothing but try again ...
the second attempt, I got ... little by little, the bike was rising, I put the goat's foot, had achieved ... it was not impossible ... a lot of ghosts were behind ... I felt so good ... Sorry
I know that this is not important to you, but for me, and all those who have a fear of going out with a machine of 230 kg, has been a revelation, he can lift ... good! ...
I continued with my trip and reached the goal: "The Salt of the Minyona" ...
A small image of the Mare de Deu dels Cingles, in a privileged place with amazing views:
With the feeling of having taken a major step forward in my personal relationship with my GS, I decided to return to the bike I was waiting in the pines ...
Around obviously there was no problem, I spent the various frozen mud puddles, through the middle in the second, giving moderately gas but loose, and not afraid to fall - went with all the protections, boots, helmets, overalls, knee, could lift etc.etc .- the bike myself, despite the shoulder injury ... good! ...
Viladrau When I arrived, I stopped to see the effects of pottery:
Nothing broken, just mud ... mud ...
Actually, it looks good on clay to GS ...
Thank you all for your patience ...
