La Vuelta de Los Nueve Faros, Puerto Rico 2010.
I have to say that no matter how I look at it, this ride always takes my breath away. Last year I did the ride with my then 19 year old daughter, needless to say that I came back with a new found respect for this beautiful creature that I raised. The experience was brutal but beautiful, going around the awesome island where I was born and raised with my first born was an experience that very few people get to experience, and I am one of the lucky ones. This year my daughter couldn't make it but my G2 friends along hundreds of other new and old friends could. I had a blast again, I enjoyed every inch of that ride with a smile. Sharing the ride with beautiful people from different places in this world, but with one common goal: have a great time! Jokes were told, some I was able to translate for my friends, some had no translation one of those cultural things... Climbs were done over and over and over, breath taking views were the rewards many times at the top, other times just the satisfaction of "I did it!!", we developed the art of hole jumping, every time you heard the word "hoyo" you had to expect anything from a little hole on the road to a crater that can take you down, we also felt what some of our gears feel like, you know the ones we never use in our flats roads ;-) But at the end of each day we all absorbed and enjoyed this experience in our own personal way and at the end of all three days we walked with another adventure, another experience that nobody can take away from us: Puerto Rico, La Isla del encanto seen from one of our favorite places; our bikes!! Eso es asi!
