I had the pleasure and of course the pain of ride on one of the most hardcore Ultracycling races in Europe The Badlands, a race around Granada, across deserts, highlands, beaches and beautiful small villages. I recorded some audio that may be interesting for you. I think it may be part of the last project, sounds of the route, but you decide.

The first day started plethoric, I was literally on fire, feeling extremely strong and capable to finish this race in a very privileged position, at least among the first 30 finishers, but rapidly my expectations got dropped. Less than 100 kms and I already had 5 punctures, loads of riders passed me while I was struggling to keep up my position and morale, pumping my wheels again and again... at the end of the day I ran out of replacements and patches, I had to stop every 10 minutes to pump the back wheel and then push as it was humanly possible. arriving finally in Gorafe to eat sincerely not the best pasta, but it tasted like glory after such a pain.
