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 whatâs 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 donât 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. Iâve known Cristina and Gerard for a long time, and I tell you they work hard for this.Â
I normally donât do this kind a post, but this matters to me scroll to keep reading đ«¶đŒ
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 thatâs the resume of the weekend.

Sara goes Ultra Ep. 3
In this episode, itâs not just about preparing your body for an ultra â itâs about getting your bike ready, too.
As it turns out, @cafedebedstee isnât exactly the most diligent when it comes to keeping her drivetrain clean and dialed⊠so @samisauri had a few important things to point out.
âOkay confession time: Iâve basically never properly cleaned or fixed anything on my bike. Tell me Iâm not the only oneâŠ..?! There must be more cycling queening slayerssss out there who just love riding and donât really care about all the technical stuff. And honestly⊠thatâs fineâŠâŠUntil it isnât âŠ
Apparently a clean chain = more watts? Thatâs what Sami told me hehe
Also, in Morocco I oiled my chain with olive oil, that isnât really smart I can tell youâŠ
I was going insane from the noise, some guys from a bar were like âwe can help youâ, 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 itâs time I start taking care of my bike⊠or at least stop feeding it kitchen ingredients.â
Up next: things get practical. In the next episode, itâs all about maintenance and the spare parts you really donât want to forget.
