« If you go further, you will see more. » đŸ”ïž Nos deux semaines aux cĂŽtĂ©s de Sami Sauri touchent Ă  leur fin. Entre gravel, ultra, place des femmes dans le vĂ©lo et crĂ©ativitĂ©, Sami nous a plongĂ©s dans un univers oĂč l'effort n'est qu'un prĂ©texte Ă  l'Ă©merveillement. Sur le cairn de Jusqu’au Sommet, Sami dĂ©pose une phrase qui l'a guidĂ©e sur les Ă©preuves les plus dures du monde : « If you go further, you will see more ». Au dĂ©part, elle pensait que l'idĂ©e d'un mantra Ă©tait un peu "bullshit". Finalement, ces quelques mots l'ont portĂ©e plus loin qu'elle ne l'aurait imaginĂ©. C’est un Ă©quilibre parfait entre sa quĂȘte de performance et son Ɠil de photographe : s'entraĂźner dur pour ĂȘtre Ă  l'aise physiquement, non pas pour battre les autres, mais pour avoir la libertĂ© d'observer ce qui l’entoure. Parce qu'aller plus loin, c'est comprendre que dans l'effort, comme dans la vie, la curiositĂ© est la meilleure alliĂ©e de la persĂ©vĂ©rance. Merci Sami pour cette quinzaine inspirante, pour ton Ă©nergie solaire et pour ce rappel : la rĂ©compense n'est pas seulement au sommet, elle est dans tout ce que l'on dĂ©couvre en acceptant de continuer encore un peu. đŸ‘ŒđŸŒ ✹ On vous retrouve demain pour un nouvel Ă©pisode de Jusqu’au Sommet.

Deeply seeking for those feelings again - 2 weeks until @transbalkanrace meanwhile I open my camera and saw those crazy clips from TTW and the crazy section. As they said is way way harder.

The Traka. This photo is from 2019, a three wooden frame and a little panel that said traka (still conserved on the venue in case you wonder) we started the journey of what’s going to become the biggest event in European gravel. Nobody at that time knew that it was going to happen like it did, it was going to become so big, it was going to be a thing. Together with Unbound they are currently the biggest events by far in Gravel. For those who don’t know Klassmark is an organizer who has trail running, used to have MTB events and now gravel events across Spain and the new introduction this year, by Traka across other countries. I’ve known Cristina and Gerard for a long time, and I tell you they work hard for this.  I normally don’t do this kind a post, but this matters to me scroll to keep reading đŸ«¶đŸŒ

« Si je presse ça, c’est fini, terminĂ©. » ⛰ Sami Sauri nous raconte ce moment d’immense frayeur. À 3 heures du matin, en pleine montagne au Kyrgyzstan, elle se retrouve coincĂ©e jusqu’à la hanche dans un marĂ©cage, seule au milieu de nulle part. C'est ce point prĂ©cis oĂč la fatigue extrĂȘme rencontre la panique. Actionner le bouton SOS ou trouver une solution ? Utiliser son vĂ©lo comme une plateforme pour ramper vers une zone stable, c’est lĂ  que l'instinct de survie est Ă  son maximum. Cela fait rĂ©flĂ©chir Ă  nos propres limites. Souvent, quand on pense avoir tout essayĂ©, il reste encore une petite Ă©tincelle pour transformer un dĂ©sastre en une leçon de rĂ©silience. #UltraCycling #MentalDeAcier #SamiSauri #AventureExtrĂȘme #Resilience

Today felt like an ultra by car - a show is a show and it kept delivering, just like on a theater but without falling asleep. Gravel has still a lot to learn, I guess that’s the resume of the weekend. . #thetraka

« If you go further, you will see more. » C’est le mantra qui a nourri Sami Sauri pour dompter la Silk Road Mountain Race. 🌍 Une phrase qui rĂ©sume parfaitement son Ă©tat d’esprit. Curieuse, engagĂ©e, profondĂ©ment tournĂ©e vers l’aventure, Sami n’a jamais cessĂ© d’explorer, sur le vĂ©lo comme en dehors. Du fixie Ă  Barcelone aux premiĂšres courses de gravel, Ă  une Ă©poque oĂč la discipline Ă©tait encore confidentielle, elle trace progressivement sa route jusqu’à l’ultra-distance, oĂč elle franchit un cap en terminant 2e de la Silk Road Mountain Race en 2025. Mais Sami, ce n’est pas que le vĂ©lo. C’est aussi une vision, une crĂ©ativitĂ© et un engagement fort pour faire Ă©voluer la place des femmes dans l’outdoor. Dans cet Ă©pisode de Jusqu’au Sommet aux accents catalans, on explore avec elle : - une immersion profonde dans sa 2Ăšme place sur la Silk Road Mountain Race - ses conseils pour prĂ©parer et terminer son premier ultra - son regard sur l’évolution du monde du gravel - ses actions pour rendre l’ultra-cyclisme plus accessible aux femmes 🎧 Épisode disponible sur YouTube et toutes les plateformes de podcast.

Sara goes Ultra Ep. 3 In this episode, it’s not just about preparing your body for an ultra — it’s about getting your bike ready, too. As it turns out, @cafedebedstee isn’t exactly the most diligent when it comes to keeping her drivetrain clean and dialed
 so @samisauri had a few important things to point out. „Okay confession time: I’ve basically never properly cleaned or fixed anything on my bike. Tell me I’m not the only one
..?! There must be more cycling queening slayerssss out there who just love riding and don’t really care about all the technical stuff. And honestly
 that’s fine

Until it isn’t 
 Apparently a clean chain = more watts? That’s what Sami told me hehe Also, in Morocco I oiled my chain with olive oil, that isn’t really smart I can tell you
 I was going insane from the noise, some guys from a bar were like “we can help you”, and I just trusted them. The result was: a quiet chain for 5 minutes, then everything turned into one big sticky mess and it still is. Maybe it’s time I start taking care of my bike
 or at least stop feeding it kitchen ingredients.“ Up next: things get practical. In the next episode, it’s all about maintenance and the spare parts you really don’t want to forget. . . . #rosebikes #experiencecycling #saragoesultra #thetraka
