Doña Juana, 78 -year -old, expects from the early morning sitting in the sun on a bank a few meters away from Sariñena Street (Huesca), where the huge cycling team will spread soon. “Imagine the revolution. We are 4000 people in this town and one day a year invading 8000 passengers, and its comrades are. Monegros Orbea celebrated its twenty -fifth issuance on Saturday: It is not present in Europe. mountain bike This brings together many participants, and in Spain, it is only similar to appointment, to set the road that reaches up to 10,000 participants. Contestants from 17 autonomous societies and seven countries live in the Monegros Desert a kind of mass vent, more festive than competitiveness.
The appointment was created a quarter of a century before Juan Carlos NagiraWhich is still at the forefront of the same thing and resting minutes before the exit pistol. “I moved from the world of cycling, competing in the first tests of extremist international resistance, in adventure raids, and I wanted as possible, and even on the same day, it can rain, create, wind, and have a typical clay called the host, where it is impossible to give a group, but it has amazing areas such as the sandy amplification that holds it, and presses the sense of distress, and the desert Demographic where sometimes a pedal in the middle of anywhere, in an unwilling location and the unit that Agwini 25 years ago, “admits.
The mountain bike has known noticeable developments since its birth in the United States in 1981, at the request specialized. The first units came to our country around 1985, and it is a real soul of the fresh air of the industry that immediately turned away, which attracts its capabilities. After dual suspension, the pirate brakes, 29 -inch wheels, electronic changes or monobias are, the most important qualitative leap is the electrical bike, and more than that that limits the engine power in blogging, is still effort and the bicycle passenger does not have to go on a motorcycle. The idea arose in the engineering of the Basque European company, which restricted the Shimano engine to create laughter and break the applicable bases. “Cycling is constantly re -accomplished itself, and this also does our test,” Nadra explains. “In the first version, you can participate, walk and bike. The test continued for 24 hours and was not marked, but immediately was very successful among bicycle passengers and we chose the mountain bike. It was nice to think that in a desert this type of huge life could grow. They ride a dangerous bike and many of them in electricity.”
Nervous, Juan showcases the pressure of bike tires for his son Iker while this, relaxing, reassures him: “If you stay We both return to your electric bike“And he explodes in laughter. The Father is calculated 52 years, by 19 Son.” I can no longer accompany him with the muscle bike, so I moved to the mountainous electric bike and does not know what to enjoy. With a engine and everything, the child makes me suffer, “Juan shouts.
The air -conditioned use of electrical bikes would give a social study. He saved marriages. He joined parents and children. He kept the holding of heads. The sporting life has extended to the elderly. Many have allowed the discovery of the fun of shooting. INMA and iOSU, married for 20 years, with laughed that the electrical bike prevented her divorce: “Before, we went together and went out and got angry because I always exploded. Now, I exploded and enjoyed simply and whenever we wanted to go together.” Electrical bikes have become to stay and stimulate the cycling industry and what an unimaginable quarter of a century is doing is the fact that the story of the new bicycle rides is presented.
Originally, Orbea Monegros had a competitive personality, but immediately an event was immediately without classifications: “Some participants were hitting after crossing the finish line for an old bicycle riding as he was rolling all the time and attack to win in the end.” The terrible winds in the region may change the logic of some participants. In addition to the beauty of the place, the acceptable price of registration, its exceptional services, its promotional tents, and an unpopular organized organization: “We simply listen to what people ask,” summarizes Nájera.
