Still processing and digesting what
@badlandscc has been.
815 km | 15,000 m+ | 90 hours and 13 minutes
But beyond the numbers, there’s the Badlands experience.
Days when your mind is only focused on the next pedal stroke, on food, and on finding a place to sleep… all of it surrounded by landscapes as breathtaking as they are demanding. It was a physical challenge, but above all a mental one: when the mind works, the legs follow.
We went through every kind of moment: pure euphoria, but also being on the verge of quitting. Like that endless night in the Tabernas desert. And yet, the atmosphere that surrounds you is unique: the people you meet along the way, the hardships you share, plates of pasta for breakfast, watching the sunrise from the bike, or nights spent sleeping in playgrounds… All of it keeps you moving forward until you finally arrive in Granada, on a Thursday, at 2 a.m.
Thanks to everyone who made this madness possible.
Now we truly understand why Badlands is “The wildest gravel challenge in Europe.”

Encara assimilant i digerint el que ha estat
@badlandscc .
815 km | 15.000 m+ | 90 hores i 13 minuts
Però més enllà dels números, hi ha l’experiència Badlands.
Dies en què el teu cap nomĂ©s pensa en la segĂĽent pedalada, en menjar i en trobar un lloc on dormir… tot envoltat de paisatges tan espectaculars com exigents. Ha estat un repte fĂsic, però sobretot mental: quan el cap funciona, les cames responen.
Hem viscut moments de tota mena: d’eufòria, però tambĂ© d’estar a punt de dir prou. Com aquella nit interminable al desert de Tabernas. I, malgrat tot, l’atmosfera que es crea Ă©s Ăşnica: la gent que coneixes pel camĂ, les misèries compartides, els plats de pasta per esmorzar, veure sortir el sol sobre la bici o les nits dormint en parcs infantils… Tot plegat et fa seguir endavant i et permet arribar a Granada, un dijous, a les dues de la matinada.
Moltes grĂ cies a tots els que heu fet possible aquesta bogeria.
Ara entenem per què Badlands és “The wildest gravel challenge in Europe”.
