Of the best videos that I already saw of Long race / AM! In a perfect scenery! In a word: “Spectacular“! Numa palavra: “Espectacular” !

Video of presentation of the new suspension rock shox boxxer.

Venosc is a small town situated in the French Alps. This town is situated in the heart of the natural park of Ecrins.

This town is looked by tourists for the practice of several activities such as: Mountaineering, Escalation, Fishing, Sky, Road Ferrata, Aquatic Sports, and BTT.

In fact this zone is an excellent place for the practice of the BTT, in his several slopes (Downhill, All-mountain, etc.), this because it disposes of several rails in excellent conditions and well identified, as they can see in the movie …

After PARÁ had read the article on A DRIVER'S SEAT TO the BICYCLE in the azuribike, I did not hold out investigating any more on the subject and doing a post on this brilliant idea “made in Noroega”.

The Trampe is the first elevator of the world drawn for bicycles, the prototype was manufactured in 1993 in the city Trondheim, and it keeps on working.

To be able to be in use this elevator there has to be bought a card that has a determined number of travels, the value paid for the card can be deducted then in the alguer of a bicycle. (more …)

Expensive good mornings readers of the BTTveredas!

Today I come to talk to you about a subject connected with the health, more precisely with our eyes!

During the days of sun or of great brightness, the Ultraviolet radiation (UV) and visible it is very intense, and even without looking at the sun straightly, the rays UV are reflected for our eyes due to the sand of the ground, which exists in the rails. This radiation UV-Visível is a very energetic radiation that when the eye penetrated the sight, hurt one due to the formation of so-called harmful compounds of “free roots”. Inside these compounds I detach the oxygen singuleto, what is a very reactive compound that is going to harm the interior of our eye along the age and the excessive solar exhibitions. Dentro desses compostos destaco o oxigénio singuleto, que é um composto muito reactivo que vai lesar o interior do nosso olho ao longo da idade e das excessivas exposições solares.

As soon as the cloths and proteins of the eye are regenerated very slowly, the effects of the exhibition to the radiation UV are being accumulated along the life and can give rise to pathologies as the waterfalls that can progress inclusive for the blindness, due to the loss of transparency of the crystal clear one because of the effects of the free roots! This phenomenon is frequent in persons of age who worked during years in the sun field the sun. So, I advise to use good glasses of sun with filters UV. On the contrary of which leaning people, a few good sun glasses do not need properly of being dark, up to because our eyes do not manage to see the radiation UV. The glasses even cannot get dark very much, but the important thing is that they will filter the UVs, in way to protect your eyes during the walks of BTT. For the persons who use graduated glasses (as I) think that nowadays almost all the lenses have protection UV, and however healthy make transparent. Portanto, aconselho a utilizarem bons óculos de sol com filtros UV. Ao contrário do que muita gente pensa, uns bons óculos de sol não precisam propriamente de ser escuros, até porque os nossos olhos não conseguem ver a radiação UV. Os óculos até podem não escurecer muito, mas o importante é que filtrem os UVs, de modo a protegerem os vossos olhos durante os passeios de BTT. Para as pessoas que utilizam óculos graduados (como eu) penso que hoje em dia quase todas as lentes têm protecção UV, e no entanto são transparentes.

Besides this aspect “anti-aging“ of the vision, the glasses can be quite important because they avoid that between dusts or garbages for the eyes, and more still, protect the sight of eventual branches or brambles that could appear in the rails. Another care to have been is in the choice of the glasses, it is of avoiding lenses from glass and / or metal frames, because in case of fall it can injure and harm the face and / or the eyes.

Already now, like final curiosity, does anybody know because the fact is that the clothes, the paints of the wall, or even the plastic, control themselves paling (to be whiter) when exposed in the sun during much time? That's right, that is due to the free roots and our "friendly" oxygen singuleto what are formed and react with the colorings of the clothes and of the paint and “destroy them”! With this small example of day by day I think what they were realizing what the effects of the sun are in excess in our eyes. Com este pequeno exemplo do dia-a-dia acho que ficaram a perceber quais são os efeitos do sol em excesso nos nossos olhos….

I hope that this advice you has been useful.

That's right, there are things that the Internet has of good one it is the fact of being easy of knowing persons with common interests. The case was this, where through forums and of our blogue, we discover a group of gang with many similarities to our group, well let's see, both groups are of the district of Torres Vedras (we are of the Northern District they are from the south of the district), both groups like technical descents, and still, both like to film!! As such, already we walked in negotiations for a future meeting and exchange of rails, I am only waiting for my picture “TREK“ that is under guarantee.! Como tal, já andamos em negociações para um futuro encontro e intercâmbio de trilhos, só estou à espera do meu quadro “TREK” que está na garantia.

Even there I leave here a video of the group BTTexas, with the rails of Torres's Southern District, some of them already explored by the BTTveredas, still unknown others …

We stay waiting for your near video, which as I know, be be already do! …
Any day we have a competition of videos of BTT: Towers Vedras = NORTH vs SOUTH

Embraces,

To go to a festibike and not to try bikes is how to go to Rome and not to see Eats it.

As such, the BTTveredas tried and he tested the resistance of the material (this time I did not break any prop eheh)

The victims of the Test-Drive were the next ones:
Specialized: Epic, Stumpjumper and Pitch Pro
Scott: Genius 20 Carbon

Yesterday, I to a festibike saw what the main marks reserve us for 2009 (for those who still did not do it, they can still visit the festival bike till 22 h of the day of today). I have been going every year to the festival bike and of year for year it is better, is good to see that this kind in constant growth in ours parents. This year was well-known more marks bet it in showing his trumps in the festival bike, whereas in the years anterios the stands of the festival bike it was maioritariamente of shops, this year the marks / importers were belonging to most of the stands. This year also I noticed an increase of the feminine sex to visit the exhibition and to contemplate the bikes. Este ano foi notório mais marcas a apostaram em mostrar os seus trunfos no festival bike, enquanto que nos anos anterios os stands do festival bike era maioritariamente de lojas, este ano a maioria dos stands pertenciam as marcas/importadores. Este ano também notei um aumento do sexo feminino a visitar a exposição e a contemplar as bikes.
