Mottled Skin After Using Hot Water Bottle

Day Updated 37 .- Sant Carles de la Rapita - Castellón

109 kms. 4 hours


JL: With some delay writing the post for the last leg between San Carlos de la Rapita and Castellón. The path has nothing special since passed by the National Highway 340 . Few kilometers to reach full speed when we had indicated. We just knew we had to get on the 13:00, without further explanation. There was a surprise in store.

And that was the highlight of the day: the reception that we dispensed our city, organized by Record Go and City of Castellón. In the Plaza Mayor de Castellón had installed a inflatable finish arch and around all our comrades s, @ s friend, family and supporters of the blog. Also present were many media: Radio Nou Nou Canal, Mediterranean, Onda Cero, Cadena Ser, Las Provincias, Valencia, etc .... The event was chaired by the Director General of Record Go , Victor Carratala, the Councillor for Sports Castellón, Vicent Sales, and Provincial Chairman of the English Association Against Cancer Dr. Folch .



Reuniting with loved ones, photographs, commemorative delivery, bouquets, yellow jersey champions, bottle of champagne, etc. .., really a rush of emotion that made our already revolutionized heart race even more. People gathered there embraced us and treated us like we were heroes, which Ivan and I seem exaggerated. These days we said to each other that we have the feeling of having done something so extraordinary. But the truth is we really appreciate all the words of congratulations and recognition we receive. They were very special moments: it is very gratifying to see how other people are deluded by your actions. Thank you very much everybody.

The feeling of reaching the goal was very strange. On the one hand full of completing the challenge and relief to rest. On the other hand it gives you the impression that you're seeing the end of a movie you liked and did not want it to end. This shows that although the goal is always to reach a goal, the nice thing is enjoy the process. So the goals are not only moving points that must be overcome, but it is really stimulating and educational make way.

Our friend Paco is currently parked in the garage Record Go until we decide his fate. Its mechanics have behaved excellently. Has not given us any major problems, more than a few tire changes (quite normal) and the replacement of a saddle. With him we made a good choice and we were not disappointed. I do not know what he would say if it could talk. Maybe give thanks for having had the opportunity to meet so many places and people I would say it has striven to do my best, that is proud of its participation in this project is dead tired and has lost weight ... ... .. But I'm sure he thinks is that he is glad to have met the wind, the sun and the road and having worked as a team with them face to face.

We think it was just a couple of days when we left, because in spite of the hardness of the company's all over very quickly.

And the day after? In the days following the arrival of freed you feel like not having to go on the road. While trying to return to normal at once. There are many routines and obligations to return and do it ASAP. The world is spinning and you mark a rhythm.

If as of today we have returned to normal work and conventional life, then why all is again as before? I think not. Nothing is the same after an experience like this. We have grown, we have learned and above all hope to have generated some impact on the culture that surrounds us. Sometimes the pace with the planet is not the best and should be replaced. This project has not had anything to do with cycling or with a trip. It's about the human capacity to use imagination and inner strength to put the service of a desire, has to do with the desire to be better each day using the talent to useful purposes, healthy and constructive, and has to do with constancy and fidelity by a vision.

That is the example that I hope you have seen those who have known and participated in this project .

This post-posthumous DAILY , but not BLOG. There are still things to be told. The project does not end here: we study the possibility of publishing a book, audiovisual material we have much still to climb, and TV2 is going to issue a documentary ......, and indeed the gifts section is still open and the shirts are for sale.

Again thank you very much to everybody s those who have helped, encouraged and understood, those who have been excited as us, who have followed us through the blog, and all the friends @ s of Facebook . We're going to keep watching the blog and who knows? maybe in the future embarked on another great idea ................

129 kilometers. 5 hours and 54 minutes


IVAN: The miles of the dreaded road today, there have been both as expected. Ugly day (cloudy), as usual, but with gusts of wind. As remarkable thing we have gone through the Ebro delta to show a button.

Tomorrow we have the last stage, tomorrow we end this story, or at least in terms of keeping the seat warm and alive tandem pedal. Today was a day of reflection, buff ....

Congratulatory Message For Baby

Vic - El Vendrell

142 kilometers. 8 hours and 34 minutes

IVAN: 6:45 am. The alarm sounds at the same time every day. This time I'm awake, for 15 minutes I have my eyes open and look out the window beside my bed. Is open and allows me to see the layer of dark clouds covering the sky. Not fazed me long ago that this climate in the middle of August I'm not surprised. I try to lift and now I realize that something has not been raised with me. The bear that lives in me, eager to rocky mountains and explore ways that have not done, look at him and give him a nudge, or move, so I got out of bed and from above I see snuggle between the sheets.

me wash my face, talk to jl and together we went to breakfast. Today we touched. We come before the breakfast buffet, the truth is that I am not particularly hungry, but my body is knowing what awaits you send messages to my brain: "Do not pick just one piece of fruit, take two or three" "only two pieces of toast?, look also that slice of bread and tomato and ham next door "," A croissant for coffee, yes yes, and a donut, too. "

went out and started shooting, the first day pedaling show you the sensations of your body, buff ... Going through the Pyrenees was not free, and that price we are paying now. The point is that we left Vic pummeled from the first drops of rain, and headed to the wagon that Garmin tells us that we carry Montblanc Manresa and then, we do not take the coast road, it's ugly for the bike and takes a lot of traffic, go to Castellon in the interior. When we take 15 km we realize that the road we should have taken is one that runs parallel to us, and that access to it so we spent about 4 km, we started to look and all the roads that pass close below, there is no way to go, so after several attempts we decided to turn around, we go back. Surprise, we found several miles up a secondary access to a gas station, from there we enter the road, sure.




What we take and actually arrived at the gas station and see that we can get onto our Garmin says. It also has air-pressure hose, let's give the wheels, the cool front, the rear one fatal, we carry the valve to inflate, fifth change of the trip, and right next to home. At least it's only chamber.
The point is that after the change and carry the illusion of perfect wheels and the road straightened we left, we started to climb towards Manresa. Here comes the surprise of the day. We see the white car coming from the front, suddenly turned the blue lights on your roof, and skipping the direction to the contrary, stands in front of us. Are Mossos!, Who will want?. Very simple, lower half pissed and while one of them touches the head with your index finger starts turning around the conversation, in which among other things tell us that this road is not cyclable. We are not allowed to go in tandem. So after a conversation for a while appeared angry, which defended it from where we've gone there was nothing that we do not allow it, half of the couple goes to the car and what we doctor writes the prescription for . Some 500 "wing" is a whopping, 250 if prompt payment. The truth is that they are quite right, not having seen we are not free, who knows, maybe have prevented a greater evil. The nice thing coming now, the quickest way to get going on bike Manresa is from Vic, and passing through a port of 917 meters, with which we did not today. So very educated escort us from where we are until the first exit left in the opposite direction we go. Total is 11 am and we are in the same starting point at 8, when sore, we noticed sensations.


The rest of the day. Very simple, eat half way between Vic and Manresa, once there, throw to the beach we take the road that we are avoiding, it has mountains and we are tired and discouraged, tonight we will sleep in a coastal town and tomorrow and we'll throw in the infernal road called N-340.

Create And Wrestler Online

Day 35 .- Amelie les Bains - Vic

127 kilometers. 8 hours and 9 minutes

JL:

Highway had remained on the sidelines listening to the wind and the sun talking to the tandem. Finally broke his silence and said: " my friends, during this time have exaggerated your influence in tandem travel, and forget that I who brought it back home ". The wind and the sun burst out laughing in unison to see air angry Road, but stopped at once and then looked at each other uneasily. The wind huffed and said quickly: "with my push objects move on a whim, I I can provide speed or stop them, without my good fortune would not come again" . The Sun said inflamed: "is my energy that provides the will and courage to causes, and has been my generosity that has given them the strength to come." Now it was River Road which sinuously: "what good are all these things if you do not know the right way?, it's me who guides men to their fate." Seeing
Sun, Wind and road were about to discuss, the duo asked for permission to intervene, and said "of no use to assume a role too if others do not feel comfortable on your side. The recognition and victory are feelings that they know better when shared with someone. This is the essence of teamwork, and that was the spirit of my trip. It is good that we remember and to tell to anyone who decides to start the journey toward his dream. " And all silent.


Yesterday we could not achieve our plan from the ascent of the Col d'Ares in two days because of a summer storm that was advisable to seek shelter before schedule. We debated whether to continue or stop the rain. The feeling of starting to get cold, we convinced the latter. We arrived at the hotel drafts once again. This morning the shoes were still wet. Uncomfortable feeling to wear wet clothes.

today therefore faced a very serious gap, up from 250 meters Amelie les Bains to the 1,513 meters of the Col de Ares. 35 km and 3 hours and 54 minutes uphill to crown wrapped in mist and across the border to Spain. Gradients in excess of 10% and asphalt in poor condition were the credentials of this port. This has been the most difficult day, but its main attraction, as the landscape and mountain villages are always worth. The climb has been tough (look at the video) and once again we made it to the head rather than legs.

In one of these people, Molló Prats, we had lunch a ham sandwich with tomatoes the size of the aircraft carrier Principe de Asturias. Then we bought fruit at the market street before proceeding.

rapid descent and cold. Eating in Camprodón and through Ripoll and Sant Joan de les Abadesses, up to Vic. All these people are worthy of inclusion in the agenda of places to visit.

Certainly after passing through 6 countries believe that I can count English roads that are among the best in Europe. The status of the firm, the size of the shoulders and clarity and abundance of signaling apparently outweigh abroad. Too bad the attitude of our drivers not to the same height. Here we have a lot to learn yet.

solidarity
More miles to the bag. It is less!!

Cozy Cabin Lounge Queens

Day 34 .- Nissan - Amelie les Bains. Day 33 .- Saint

129 kilometers. 6 hours and 27 minutes



IVAN: The sea Mediterranean. The photo you see to the left without any beauty or anything special, it is in the eyes of the blind to our feelings, that picture was the first time, and I say consciously taking over the nomenclature that the Romans put it, that We have seen the "Mare Nostrum ." Yes sir, the sea that has accompanied me throughout my life since I was born, I grew up, I played and so many "hes .." again, along with him. So imagine the reaction of my skin and my hair to see him after so many kilometers.

The truth is that the reunion has not been all joy, because this sea is usually accompanied by all sorts of breezes and winds that have been particularly strange today, the first few hours we have endured in the face, then half-day sides and ass. It has hurt us, we have been sick and in the end we have benefited. Well, it's something we had as well and thanking my uncle reminded me that facebook Serrat say:

"And what can I do if I was born in the Mediterranean"

addition to the feeling of seeing the Mediterranean and almost parallel to it, has the feeling of awe that has come to see the Pyrenees, the natural barrier that separates us from our land. In fact the route of today has gone through Narbonne and Perpignan , flat ground for about 100 kilometers, which once made and avoid the rush we left to head into the lion's den, a fully-covered Pyrenees Cloudy water curtains, which could be seen 10 kilometers clearly, was a chronicle of death foretold, we were wet, lot.

Indeed, when we were 5 miles from slight climb it started to rain. Then arms, legs and face have been soaked, then stalled clothing along with shoes and socks. As today's post is of sensations, you can imagine we feel after 100 km of bike, that it rains while you are starting up a port with leg strength, while the drops hit you face, notes soaked feet and arms and legs dripping water on all sides, is a brutal feeling, almost unbeatable. Joel and I have talked on occasion of the sensations that sport gives you, and he, in a they told me the conversation he had with a sports doctor making reference to these, I was saying that the feelings that an athlete in full exercise experience, are well above the feelings that may have the rest of us, including those in search of them take drugs or other substances that facilitate them. These, as I mentioned in a previous post, are reserved for those "stupid" to leave out (even if only temporarily) late night parties, alcohol and fun bottles, and are dedicated to get up early and hit hard .



To finish tonight to tell you that we sleep in a pre-Pyrenean village, tomorrow the very beginning, we expected MOUNTAIN capitalized, morning climb to an altitude of 1600 meters (we're about 250), and Paco bags, and today we have tomorrow to rest and hope that the muscles function as today. A I forgot, and hope that Paco is dry, because it has fallen upon arrival at the hostel.

Sample Human Resources Cover Letter

Hippolito du Fort - Nissan

JL:


118 kilometers. 6 hours and 45 minutes

why the waiter noses prompted to choose a bread from the many types that brings in the tray when I really want one? The other day I decided and told the waiter at dinner. Do you know that I replied stiffly? No. That would take more trips if need be but I only put one at a time. With the hunger that Ivan and I always have and these guys are going rationing. Why strive to explain in detail the dish is served, despite telling them not to speak French? Sometimes they find it harder to describe than to devour us. And at the end why do we have to choose between cheese platter or dessert when we really want both? But why do not relax and let us dine alone? And why do they have to be so strict about mealtimes? As you pass at 14:00 and you do not get to eat even if you look half dead. Supposedly the Germans are strict, but we have eaten and eaten in Germany at about the time we wanted.

Finally, today the day we started late, about 9:00. The alarm has sounded at 7:00, but there was no way out of bed because yesterday we ended up very tired. Then we have repented for the heat and squeeze a great time. Can be illustrated by recounting that we have consumed a gallon of water, two cans of isotonic drink and eleven pieces of fruit per head, including a quarter of a watermelon at a roadside fruit peddling. The profile was a constant up and down, hence it has cost us so long.

The first fruit we have eaten in a small village called San Martin de Londres . It was about 11:00 and the premises were gathered in the plaza around the fountain. Why? Simply because the place invited. There was a parking charge someone with design firm that justifies its budget based on cement and metal. It was just a place with three large and inimitable trees and stone benches.

Tomorrow we get up at 6:00 to make way in the first fresh hour. We arrived Pyrenees and must cross somewhere. We decided to do by the D115 road that connects with the C38 and leads to Camprodon , in the province of Gerona. We must go beyond 1,620 meters port from which we climb in two days, morning to an altitude of approximately 500/600 meters, and the rest for Friday, along with the long descent during which cross the border. Camprodon brings back memories. There I broke my scaphoid in his right hand in a fall while on the Transpirenaica MTB. Had not returned since. Surely this time we do best.

Acute Hiv Rash Description

Privas-Day 32 .- Saint Hippolyte du Fort

142 kilometers. 7 hours and 26 minutes

IVAN: From the first minute. Today the accumulation of sweat on my forehead, in a trickle, has gone through in the middle of my eyebrows, has slipped through my nose and from the tip vacuum has repeatedly launched from minute one, now swollen veins my arms and legs have pumped pressurized fuel my muscles from minute one, now the heartbeat of my heart and lungs has entered aerobic anaerobic sometimes, from minute one, today has touched roll up his right arm and elbow support the firm, this particular pulse start from minute one, today's conversation, face to face with the mountain has been from the first minute , it today has not been long in coming.


Today's Profile:


The following video shows the end of the neck down the photo above, caring with the maneuver the van at the end of the video, ask here a little respect for cyclists . The saying "better to lose a second of life, life in a second" takes here all the way, only that life, in this case lies elsewhere.



The truth is that today's stage was one of those grueling stages, which are long over and over again, the heat stifling, and the field ups and downs we have run continuous burning (note: the profile is detract from the original mountain, but if you look is like a saw that is constantly up and down, 50 feet up, 50 down, and back again). And that has made the principle that at first pun intended, it seemed harder, start off a story. Moreover, it has not been anything special if you look at future stages, those of the Pyrenees . These are very to enter through the front door. Someone once said " no pain, no glory ", well, Spain for us, will be the glory.


tell you that the stage has begun in a nearby town, yet, the Rhone , with a very green and lush vegetation, but once we passed the "wall", the environment has been Mediterranean, with vegetation that reminded me greatly, where I live, if there had been orange instead of vineyards would have thought I was home.
Finally say that we are back to making music, I think it is the 4 th wheel change from Cape North, is not bad, leaving nearly 1000 kilometers.

Dementia Refusing Services

Day 31 .- Vienne - Day 30 .-

127 kilometers. 6 hours and 26 minutes

JL:

The duo told the Sun "by so you join us! . " The Sun said "I have not done before because I woke no interest." "Now if" replied annoying tandem. "was beginning to feel some curiosity to know who these two are determined to turn dreams " said the Sun " And now you know them, you join us until the end? "eagerly asked the tandem. The Sun said it again: "It just depends on me. It's easy to start a fire, how hard is to keep the flame alive. " And the duo fell pensive.

monotonous plains hundred kilometers along the right bank of the Rhone given to thinking. Occasionally something gets you out of your thoughts. So after four hours of travel under the sun, with the opening and closing continuously senses the concentration and observation. The exterior view shows you places you probably will not come back to visit and urges capture in your memory as much as you can. Under extreme physical exertion, the inside look you every day reveals something new about yourself. In addition, each time the proprioceptive system tells you about your stress muscles and heart rate. It is impossible to be more alive.



Today I left Vienne, a town whose foundation dates back to the third century BC, so its historical heritage is extensive. Has grown along the river and enjoy great new neighborhoods parkland beside him. At noon we ate at Tournon , more or less in Ecuador of the stage. Other days we ate at a park bench with a grocery bag. Today we wanted to do decently. The menu was expensive and scarce, however, with the cheese board have been redeemed. Do not miss the photo.

In the afternoon we have crossed with another tandem upriver. We would have liked to stop, meet, take some photos ... ... but at the time Ivan and I were shooting at 40 kms per hour and the crossing has been rapid.
The final stage involved Privas away from the river to the west for 27 kilometers to go deep into a mountain. The population rise is half of a long mountain pass that will end tomorrow morning to complete 850 meters. We were lucky, because few minutes after our arrival has sparked a nice summer storm. The next four days, until we cross the Pyrenees , many mountain passes we will therefore not be the only storm we see. I hope to see indoors.

I think the biggest news of the day was that my partner Ivan has finally decided to shave after a month without it. There goes the test.
