Xterra France 2021 – In mud from head to toe

Xterra France is a real physical challenge, way more than a simple triathlon. It is a strength
testing adventure, where everyone who is crossing the finish line can be proud of this
achievement. It is also thoroughly a family event, where several participants finished the
race surrounded with their kids, running the last meters together, sharing the feeling of
victory with their loved ones, expressing probably that without their continuous support
they would not be able to have this accomplishment. Xterra France 2021 – In mud from head to toe weiterlesen

GFNY Cozumel

Orale amigos! Volvimos a Cozumel después de un año. Acá estábamos, el equipo suramericano completo. Esta vez, Facundo nos dirigiría a todos para lograr un gran evento. 2000 participantes, un poco menor de lo que se esperaba, siendo el segundo GFNY más grande. Sin embargo, una cantidad bastante considerable para una pandemia.  Esta vez el viaje fue mucho más tranquilo, habiendo realizado el viaje a florida quince días antes, ya tenía un poco más de experiencia de lo que sería viajar en pandemia.  Y debo admitir, que la aduana mexicana puede llegar a dar más miedo que la de Estados … GFNY Cozumel weiterlesen

GFNY Florida – different than planned, but a complete success

So, this event starts a bit different, it’s the first event after the border closed 8 months ago in Colombia. We are living a pandemic worldwide, all events have been cancelled, flights are not taking off, you all know what I’m talking about. While we were on permanent curfew here in Colombia, I’ve decided to work as a bike messenger here in Bogotá, my hometown, and the capital of the country, why I’m telling you this? Because this made me find many street stories about migration, work, equity, gender and many more fields that led me to create a YouTube … GFNY Florida – different than planned, but a complete success weiterlesen

GFNY Bali – Premiere auf der Insel der Götter

Der Winter in Deutschland 2019 war wieder nicht so der Kracher, kein Schnee, kein Schlittschuhlaufen, dafür grauer Himmel. Der Saisonauftakt sollte aber besonders schön werden. Und wenn schon kein Skifahren, dann Radfahren in der Sonne. Aber wo findet man so tolle Bedingungen, Sonne satt, Temperaturen, die kurze Hosen ermöglichen? Genau, im Süden, für uns in diesem Fall auf Bali. Nachdem wir schon einige Rennen der weltweiten GFNY-Serie fotografieren durften, stieg massiv der Wunsch in uns auf, selbst als Teilnehmer dabei zu sein. Und so sollte der GFNY Bali den Saisonauftakt vor Ronde van Vlaanderen Cyclo, Amstel Gold Race und weiteren … GFNY Bali – Premiere auf der Insel der Götter weiterlesen

GFNY Bali – Debut on the Island of Gods

Germany had quite a depressing winter in 2019 – no snow, but the season was supposed to start with a highlight. If we couldn’t ski, we’d ride our bikes – but where could we find circumstances, that would allow us to enjoy the sun, to cycle in shorts? Correct, further south – and in our case Bali. After having had the opportunity to cover multiple races of the global GFNY series we developed the urge to participate ourselves. GFNY Bali was chosen to start our season – followed by “Ronde van Claanderenc Cyclo“, ”Amstel Gold Race” and many others. Sign-up … GFNY Bali – Debut on the Island of Gods weiterlesen
