Yo creo que a todos los allí presentes les llegó al corazón.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuantas veces soñamos despiertos con sueños en los que hacemos cosas importantes? ¿Cuántas veces se nos han ocurrido ideas, proyectos para realizar que no hemos llevado a cabo, bien por no haber sido valientes o bien por no haber contado con la persona adecuada? Esta vez el sueño se cumplió, esta vez fuimos valientes porque teníamos una buena razón para serlo, esta vez si tuve a una maravillosa persona a mi lado para conseguirlo....esa persona es ahora mi esposa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al principio la idea de donar nuestra lista de bodas para la lucha contra el Parkinson y realizar nuestro viaje de novios en una Tandem desde Sheffield a Murcia sólo tenía un objetivo.....animar a mi padre que se encontraba bastante decaído debido a la enfermedad de Parkinson y al cambio de 180º que la enfermedad habia producido en su vida en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Queridos amigos, ese objetivo se cumplío la misma noche que le comunicamos a mi padre nuestra intención mientras hacíamos una videoconferencia con el ordenador entre Sheffield y Murcia. Esa misma noche, sin haber hecho una pedalada, mi padre se animó...y como le suceden a la mayoría de los pacientes de Parkinson...se emocionó.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y es que la historia es muy bonita...nos decían amigos y familiares! Demasiado bonita para no darlo a conocer me decía mi primo Ricardo! ....cuanta razón tenian..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y lo que empezó siendo un proyecto de dos persona se convirtió en tres, cuatro, veinte y más...cada uno de vosotros que habéis colaborado, ayudado, compartido este proyecto teneís que sentirlo como vuestro, porque ha sido de todos y para todos. Lo que empezó siendo para ayudar a una persona con Parkinson ha terminado ayudando a docenas, centenas quizas a miles de personas...en España, en el Reino Unido, en Chile, en Costa Rica...en cada pueblo, ciudad o país donde haya un enfermo de Parkinson al que le haya llegado nuestra noticia le habrá ayudado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A los familiares y amigos que nos habeis seguidos por esta blog y nos habéis escrito algún mensaje de apoyo, a los que nos habeis acogido en vuestras casas, a los que habéis donado dinero para Apanet o PDS, a los medios de comunicación que os habéis interesado por nuestra historia y habéis transmitido el mensaje de solidaridad que queríamos hacer llegar a las personas afectadas de Parkinson, a los que estuvisteis presentes a nuestras llegada a Murcia, a los que nos habeis acompañado en la última etapa y sobre todo a Ricardo, Salvador, Pepe y Mariano que nos habéis acompañado desde Teruel....mi más sinceras gracias.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Paco Montesinos, Paco Cimas, Merche, Carlos Arana, Ana Maria, Jose Carlos, Itziar, Belinda, Miguel, Pilar, Lola, Claire, Nikki y tantos otros que nos habeis ayudado en dar a conocer a los demás nuestra historia y con ello la enfermedad de Parkinson, les envío mi agradecimiento y muchos ánimos para seguir luchando por el bienestar de los pacientes de Parkinson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por último quiero dedicar unas lineas a mi queridísima compañera de tandem, de aventura, de luna de miel....la persona que más quiero en este mundo y que con su sonrisa ilumina mi vida, me refiero, como no, a Antonia...mi mujer. Quiero agradecerte de todo corazón con el mundo entero por testigo que hayas aceptado sin titubeos realizar este proyecto conmigo, quiero que sepas que soy plenamente consciente del esfuerzo que has realizado y que me siento sumamente orgulloso de ti por ello. En mi corazón quedará para siempre esa imagen tuya a la llegada a Murcia, medio emocionada, levantando ese ramo de novia entre la multitud allí presente. Te quiero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Victor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;Para ver las fotos del viaje pinchar &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/93231269@N00/sets/72157594291135083/show/"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dear parents, brothers and sisters, aunties and uncles, cousins, friends, journalists, politicians and other people who have followed us so closely, what can we say about the project called 'Pedaling to defeat Parkinson´s' ?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Might we say it has been like a story.....a story of love, a story with its moments of drama and its moments of humour, but above all a story with a happy ending. Who among those at our arrival in Murcia did not feel a little bit moved? I believe everyone´s heart was touched that day.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;How many times we find ourselves dreaming about doing something important? how many times we have ideas that we don´t action, either because we have not been brave enough or we did not have the right person to share it with? This time the dream was made reality, this time we were brave enough, this time I had a wonderful person at my side to share it with..... this person is now my wife!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;At the very begining the idea to donate our wedding list to fight Parkinson´s and to ride on a tandem from Sheffield to Murcia as a honeymoon had just one goal.... to give support to my dad who had hit a low point as a result of suffering from Parkinson´s and having his life turn 180º in the blink of an eye. Dear friends, that goal was achieved the same night we comunicated to my dad our intentions while we were engaged in a videoconference with the computer. That night, without even having done a stroke of the pedals, my father was happy again and as many other suffers of parkinson´s do, he became emotional!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;´.... the story is so beautiful' friends used to tell us, 'it is too beautiful to keep within a small circle' my cousin Ricardo was telling me.....how right they were.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;And what started being a project of two people, became a project of three, and then four, six, ten and more because all of you who have help us, coloborated, organised or participated in any manner on this project should take it as yours and for everyone. What started being a project to help one person has ended up helping dozens, hundreds may be thousands of people......in Spain, Britain, Chile, Costa Rica....anywhere where a person with Parkinson´s has had news about us might have helped them.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;To our relatives and friends who have followed us through this blog and have sent us support through their messages, those who have taken us into their homes, those who have made donations to either APANET or PDS, to the media who have taken an interest in our story and transmitted our message of solidarity reaching those affected with Parkinson´s, to those who came to receive us in Murcia when we arrived, to those who accompanied us on their bikes for the last day, and especially to Ricardo, Salvador, Pepe and Mariano who accompanied us all the way from Tereul........my most sincere thanks.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;To Paco Montesinos, Paco Cimas, Merche, Carlos Arana, Ana Maria, Jose Carlos, Itziar, Belinda, Miguel, Pilar, Lola,Claire, Nikki and many others who have helped us in spreading the word about our story and with increasing awareness of Parkinson´s within the society I send you my gratitude and support to continue the fight against Parkinson´s and to improve the welfare of sufferers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Finally I want to dedicate these last lines to my dearest tandem, adventure and honeymoon partner.....to the person I love most in this world and with her smile she lights up my life, I am refering to no other than Antonia, my wife. I want to thank you for from the bottom of my heart with the world as my witness for agreeing to undertake this project with me without hesitating. I want you to know that I am totally aware of the effort you made and I am so proud of you for that. The sight of an emotional Toni at the arrival in Murcia holding up the bouquet amongst the crowd, will stay in my heart for ever. I love you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Victor&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;To see the photos taken during the journey click on &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/93231269@N00/sets/72157594291135083/show/"&gt;here &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22716300-115228047413367236?l=victorantonia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://victorantonia.blogspot.com/feeds/115228047413367236/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22716300&amp;postID=115228047413367236' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22716300/posts/default/115228047413367236'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22716300/posts/default/115228047413367236'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://victorantonia.blogspot.com/2006/07/boda-wedding.html' title='Boda / Wedding'/><author><name>Victor &amp;amp; Toni</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08305842604537795743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/400/GAFAS.jpg'/></author><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22716300.post-115089278795458395</id><published>2006-06-21T05:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-05T00:20:20.700-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mission acomplished, Mision cumplida</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/novios%20en%20tandem.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/400/novios%20en%20tandem.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/DSC01908.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/400/DSC01908.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/CIMG6777.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/400/CIMG6777.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/CIMG6782.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/400/CIMG6782.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/CIMG6743.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/400/CIMG6743.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/CIMG6739.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/400/CIMG6739.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;Si amigos, a gracias a todos lo conseguimos, tenemos muchas historias y fotos que poner en esta blog pero me temo que tendreis que esperar un poquito ya que vamos a estar ocupados con nuestra boda.

Detras hemos dejado los preciosos paisajes del País Vasco, aunque subir los puertos no fue fácil, las vistas y la sensación de lograr subir a lo más alto hizo que disfrutásemos de lo lindo. Hoy, el paisaje a cambiado totalmente, es más llano y mas seco. Hemos comprado el Diario de Navarra y en la página 31 encontramos un artículo de nuestro viaje con foto incluída. Fantástico. Creemos que mucha gente debe habernos visto en el periódico porque ha sido grande el número de personas que nos han pasado en coche y nos han saludado desde la ventanilla, muchísimos que cualquier otro día.&lt;br /&gt;En un momento en la ruta, alrededor de la hora de la siesta española, cerca de la localidad de Milagro, cuando el sol estaba en todo lo alto y el calor apretando, va Antonia y me dice que había contado hasta 25 buítres haciendo circulos en cima de nuestras cabezas. En esos momentos, se ma vino a la cabeza el artículo que había salido esta mañana en el Diario de Navarra en el que los ganaderos se quejaban de que los buitres estaban atacando y matando sus yeguas, ovejas y terneros....! Nada mejor que 25 buitres encima de tu cabeza para motivarte a seguir pedaleando !!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Today, 7th June at around 17:00 we arrived in Arguedas a little over heated bearing in mind the temperature was 33ºC. We have left behind the beautiful landscape of the Vasc Country, although going up the mountains was not easy, the views and the sensation of having achieved the climb to the highest point made it more than worthwhile. Today the countryside has changed dramatically, flatter and drier. We purchased the paper ´Diario de Navarra´ and on page 31 we found an article and photo about our trip. Fantastic. We think that many people have seen it the article because today many more people were waving from their car windows and saying hello, more than any other day.&lt;br /&gt;During one particular moment on our route today around about the Spanish siesta time, not far from the village of Milagro, when the sun was at its highest and hotest, Antonia said to me that she had counted 25 vultures circling directly above our heads. In this moment I remembered the article I had read earlier that morning in the ´Diario de Navarra´about how the farmers were complaining because their livestock including mares, cattle and sheep had been attacked and killed by vultures.....! Nothing better than 25 vultures above you to motivate you to keep pedalling !!!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22716300-114970301641267005?l=victorantonia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://victorantonia.blogspot.com/feeds/114970301641267005/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22716300&amp;postID=114970301641267005' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22716300/posts/default/114970301641267005'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22716300/posts/default/114970301641267005'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://victorantonia.blogspot.com/2006/06/en-arguedas-in-arguedas.html' title='En Arguedas / In Arguedas'/><author><name>Victor &amp;amp; Toni</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08305842604537795743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/400/GAFAS.jpg'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22716300.post-114962719964864169</id><published>2006-06-06T13:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-08T02:04:16.226-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Llegada en Espana / Arrival in Spain</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/on_the_%20bikev1.0.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 209px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 285px" height="328" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/320/on_the_%20bikev1.0.png" width="245" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;Victor y Toni llegaron en España el día 5 de junio, y parece ser que había un comité de bienvenida esperando a su llegada en Bilbao. Esta mañana recibí el siguiente mensaje de texto:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Después de un caluroso recibiendo a nuestra llegada a Bilbao por parte de numeras personas afectadas de Parkinson’s, asociaciones de Parkinson’s, autoridades, medios de comunicación y ciclistas profesionales emprendimos nuestro camino hacia Escoriatza. Resulto ser más duro que lo previsto con tres subidas de las cuales dos tenían tanta pendiente que nos obligaron a bajarnos de la bici y empujarla cuesta arriba. Al final conseguimos llegar al hotel a las 20.00 horas.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Últimas noticias……. Acabo de hablar con ellos esta noche. Hoy ha pasado con tranquilidad y han llegado en Estella. Están un poquito cansados pero siguen con muchas ganas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por Phil y Rach&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;Victor y Toni arrived in Spain on June 5th, and it seems as though there was a large welcoming party waiting for them in Bilbao. This morning I received the following text message: &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/still_going.0.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 175px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 235px" height="237" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/320/still_going.0.png" width="183" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“After a warm welcome from people with Parkinson’s, Parkinson’s associations, the authorities, press core and professional cyclists on our arrival in Bilbao, we began our journey to Escoriatza.

We finally arrived at the hotel at 20.00h.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Latest news…… I have just spoken with them tonight.

Por primera vez desde que salimos de Sheffield tenemos acceso a internet. Hemos visitado esta blog y nos hemos alegrado mucho de leer todos los comentarios nuevos que han ido llegando durante los ultimos cuatro dias, especialmente el que nos informa de que Paco Montesinos se recupera favorablemente de su operacion del pasado Lunes. Animo campeon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Queremos dar las gracias al personal de los dos hoteles (Dingley Lodge Hotel cerca de Market Harborough y Travel Inn en Milton Keynes) donde hemos pasado las dos ultimas noches por haber sido tan amables con nosotros, todas las personas que hemos conocido han mostrado un interes muy especial por nuestro viaje y han sido muy simpaticos y generosos con nosotros. Como dato sorprendente, Mr Bruce Kirkman, gerente de Dingley L. Hotel, nos conto que alla por 1960 y tantos, se construyo una bicicleta cuando tenia tan solo 13 anos de edad y recorrio con ella 250 Km, entre el condado de Durham y el condado de Staffordshire, atravesando todas las colinas de Peak District en un dia y medio! Vaya un chavalin!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;por Victor y Antonia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;We have just arrived to Toni's uncles house in Coleshill, Amersham. For the first time since we set off from Sheffield we have accessed the internet. We have just visited the this blog and we are very pleased to read all these new comments that have been arriving during the last four days, particularly the one that let us know about Paco recovering from his operation last Monday. well done, champ!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would like to say thank you to all the staff in both hotels (Dingley Lodge Hotel near Market Harborough and Travel Inn in Milton Keynes) where we have stayed the last two nights for being so nice to us, everyone has shown great interest in our trip and they have been very friendly and generous to us. As a remarkable note, Mr Bruce Kirkman, owner of Dingley L. Hotel told us about his 160 mile trip in one day and a half from County Durham to Staffordshire, through the hills in Peak District, when he was just 13 years old on his bike that he built from different bits and pieces.

We have chosen routes that pas through fields and villages. Spring has finally arrived! It is when England is at it's prettiest. Spirits are high and the legs well rested at the moment. Tomorrow's stage we are dedicating to Paco Montesinos who will be undergoing an operation. We will be thinking of you dear friend. Best wishes.

Un fin de semana fuímos a casa de nuestra amiga Nikki que vive en la ciudad de Nottingham, pasamos la noche del sábado con Nikki y su hermano Tim y volvimos a Sheffield el domingo. Teníamos muchas ganas de hacer esta ruta ya que es la misma ruta que haremos en nuestro primer día del viaje. Aunque llovío los dos días no fue demasiado duro y acabamos muy contentos de haberlo hecho sin mucha dificultad. El fin de semana siguiente fue bien distinto, no en cuanto al tiempo ya que fue incluso más lluvioso y frío sino en cuanto a la dureza del recorrido. Salimos el sábado por la mañana desde nuestra casa en Mosborough, al sur de Sheffield, hacia la casa de nuestros amigos Claire y Nick en Bramley, un pueblo entre Leeds y Bradford. Pasamos la noche del sábado con ellos y regresamos a Sheffield el domingo.. La gran distancia del recorrido y la constantes subidas y bajadas hicieron que tuvieramos que ponerle todo lo que teníamos para poder llegar. Ha sido sin duda lo más duro que hemos hecho hasta ahora encima de la tandem y nos servirá muy bien como entrenamiento para cuando estemos rodando por las montañas del País Vasco. Queremos aprovechar esta blog para agradecer a nuestros buenos amigos Nikki en Nottinham y Claire y Nick en Leeds por habernos cuidado tan bien y habernos acogido con tanta hospitalidad en sus casas. Un abrazo a los tres, ¡ nos vemos en la boda !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Our short traning period has come to an end with the last two weekends before we begin our trip to Murcia on the 27th of this month. One weekend we went to our friend Nikki´s house who lives in the City of Nottingham. We spent the Saturday evening with Nikki and her brother Tim and the next day we returned to Sheffield. We particularly wanted to do this journey as it is the same one we will have to do on the first day of our trip to Spain. Although it was raining both days it turned out not to be too hard and we finished content as we did it without many difficulties. The following weekend was another story, not in terms of the weather which was even wetter and colder but because of the terrain and the distance. We set off on Saturday morning from our house in Mosborough, south of Sheffield, to Claire and Nick´s house in Bramley, a village between Bradford and Leeds. We spent Saturday evening with them and we returned on Sunday. The long distance and the up and downs all the way made us use all the strength we could find in our legs and hearts in order to reach the destination. Without a doubt it has been the biggest effort we have done so far with the tandem and it will be very useful for when we are crossing the mountains in the Vasc Country. We would like to make the most of this blog to say thank you to our good friends, Nikki in Notingham and Claire and Nick in Leeds for looking after us so well and having us in their homes with so much hospitality. A big hug to you all. We will see you at the wedding! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22716300-114768578605414995?l=victorantonia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://victorantonia.blogspot.com/feeds/114768578605414995/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22716300&amp;postID=114768578605414995' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22716300/posts/default/114768578605414995'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22716300/posts/default/114768578605414995'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://victorantonia.blogspot.com/2006/05/ultimos-entrenamientos-last-training.html' title='ULTIMOS ENTRENAMIENTOS / LAST TRAINING SESSIONS'/><author><name>Victor &amp;amp; Toni</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08305842604537795743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/400/GAFAS.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22716300.post-114672677040731902</id><published>2006-05-04T00:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-26T00:14:58.476-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Gracias por el logo y el tríptico / thanks for the logo and the leaflets</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/Triptico1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/400/Triptico1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/Triptico2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/400/Triptico2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/Triptico2.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/Triptico2.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/super%20logo2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/400/super%20logo2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;Nos gustaría dar las gracias de todo corazón a Ricardo y a Paco Montesinos por el tiempo y esfuerzo puesto en la realización de este bonito logo y trípticos. ¡Soy unos artistas!.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;We would like to say from the bottom of our hearts thanks to Ricardo and Paco Montesinos for the time and effort put in the creation of such a nice logo and leaflets.

Nos propusimos hacer 80 kms cada uno de los cuatro días y nos alegra poder comunicaros que lo conseguimos. No fue fácil, cualquiera que esté familiarizado con los alrededores de Sheffield, especialmente en Peak District, sabrá que no es nada llano. Son continuas las subidas y las bajadas pero el paisaje, sobre todo en esta época del año hizo que lo disfrutásemos muchísimo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;Pasamos por pueblos tan bonitos como: Hathersage, Castleton, Bradwell, Tideswell, Baslow, Bakewell, Chatsworth, Dore, Totley, Fulwood, Wentworth, etc. La foto con las camisetas de la asociación de Parkinson en el Reino Unido (PDS) fue tomada en nuestro jardín al final del cuarto día con 320 km en las piernas. ¡ Lo conseguimos!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/easter%20060023.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/400/easter%20060023.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/easter%20060028.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/400/easter%20060028.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;We have had a four day weekend which we have made the most of to practice with the tandem. The idea was do bike 50 miles each of the four days and we are happy to tell you that we did it!! It wann´t easy and any of you familar with the surrounding area to Sheffield, especially the Peak District will appreciate that it is not flat. It is constant ups and downs but the amazing views made it worthwhile.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;We passed through beautiful villages such as Hathersage, Castleton, Bradwell, Tideswell, Baslow, Bakewell, Chatsworth, Dore, Totley, Fullwood, Wentworth etc. The photo of us in the Parkinson´s t-shirts was taken in our garden after the four days when our legs had taken a 200 miles hammering.

Nuestro amigo Andy nos acompañó el domingo y tomó estas fotos de nosotros. Fue duro, para que vamos a negarlo, todavía nuestros cuerpos no se han acostumbrado a esa distancia. Además mi primo Ricardo, me ha dicho después de ver las fotos de que voy sentado muy alto con el manillar muy bajo!. Claro eso explica porque se me dormían los pies y las manos después de un rato en la bici. A pesar del dolor y del cansacio, hemos disfrutado un montón, los bocadillos que preparó Toni sabían a gloria cuando paramos a descansar, el paisaje era precioso, el aire era fresco y limpio. Cuando regresas a casa y te sientas en el sofá con una buena taza de té te sientes muy bien después de haber hecho tanto ejercicio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Only a couple of months left to begin our trip to Los Alcázares in Murcia, so we have to start training seriously now.  The weather last weekend was less cold and rainy so we could complete 50 miles on Saturday and 35 miles on Sunday. Our friend, Andy, came with us on Sunday and took these pictures of us. It was hard, let´s not deny it, our bodies haven´t got used to that distance yet.  Also, my cousin Ricardo, after having seen the pictures, has told me that my seat is too high and the handle bar too low. That could explain why my feet and hands were getting numb after a while on the bike. Despite the soreness and tiredness we have enjoyed ourselves very much and when we stopped for a rest the sandwiches that Toni prepared tasted fantsti.  The landscape was stunning and the air was cool and fresh.  When we got home and sat on the sofa with a nice cup of tea we felt good after having done so much exercise.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22716300-114370372552346100?l=victorantonia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://victorantonia.blogspot.com/feeds/114370372552346100/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22716300&amp;postID=114370372552346100' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22716300/posts/default/114370372552346100'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22716300/posts/default/114370372552346100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://victorantonia.blogspot.com/2006/03/entrenando-ms-en-serio-proper-training.html' title='Entrenando más en serio/ proper training started'/><author><name>Victor &amp;amp; Toni</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08305842604537795743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/400/GAFAS.jpg'/></author><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22716300.post-114323607624788333</id><published>2006-03-24T13:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-03-26T10:35:47.933-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Durante el viaje / During the journey</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/Picture%205.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/200/Picture%205.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/Picture%205.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6083/2314/1600/sum%20040047.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;Hola, somos Rachel y Phil amigos de Toni y Victor y os invitamos a todos a seguir de cerca, día a día, los pasos que estos valientes van a recorrer durante tan increíble viaje.

equivelant in Spain, (APANET) La Asociacion de Parkinson´s en Internet. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;Create awareness about Parkinson´s Disease.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;Animate those affected by Parkinson´s especially my father who has been suffering with Parkinson since 2001.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;Promote the use of bicycles and the creation of more cycle routes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;Find out more about our countries from the seats of our bike, passing through small villages meeting their people. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;Make this trip into our Honeymoon, knowing that at the end our family and friends await.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;A nuestros queridísimos amigos y familiares queremos comunicar que hemos decidido no tener lista de boda, a cambio, donaciones dirigidas a PDS o APANET serían el mejor regalo de bodas que podíamos recibir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;To our dearest friends and relatives we would like to comunicate that we have decided not to have a wedding list, but instead all donations to go towards PDS or ANAPET would be the best wedding present we could recieve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
