Me celebro mi cumpleaños #35. Entre panas. Explorando, flipando, pedaleando. Buscando nuevos caminos en terrenos ya explorados. Re descubriendo un Puntas lleno de posibilidades. Bike-packing del mejor... y entre tanta magia, mi regalo de cumpleaños no llega en bici sino con una llamada de la Marce... Seremos taitas!

I celebrate my 35th birthday. Among great friends. Exploring, flipping out, pushing the pedals and pushing the bikes. Searching for new trails on familiar terrain. Re discovering Puntas, a mountain full of possibilities for great riding... and in between all the magic, my real birthday present comes via a long distance call from Marcela... a baby is on the way!
