Su viaje era por motivo profesionales, pero Jens, gran amante del ciclismo, no dejo escapar la ocasión de traer su flaca para hacer alguna rutilla por tierras granadinas.
Quedamos como siempre en el cubo de la general, y Jens, como buen noruego, lucía ropa corta, se ve que nuestro frio matutino de noviembre se le antojaba primaveral.
Presentaciones con Jesús y David. El marqués y Lirio demostrando su don de gentes también en inglés.
Era el día previo a la media de Granada, asi que la idea era una salida tranquila. Nos encaminamos a buen ritmo dirección pantano de Quéntar.
En las rampas más fuertes sacó el cuchillo quien lo tuvo que sacar, y se dejo descolgar el que más bien tenía la cabeza en la carrera del día posterior.
Vuelta a Granada tranquila y desayuno a las 12 en el paseo del salón. Jens, con su descontrolado horario, de extranjero en españa, para él suponía la hora de almorzar.
Después del desayuno, un servidor y Jens nos acercamos a Monachil a enseñarle el comienzo del puerto del Purche, el principal reto que tenía en mente.
El sábado siguiente alguno del club pudo ver como sube este vikingo por esas rampas de hasta el 17%. Creo que el tipo se tuvo que
acercar a la Peza después del Purche para completar kilometros:)
Un placer compartir estas jornadas de ciclismo internacional.
Ya sabes Jens, en la próxima escapada a España, no olvides tu bici!

TriArmilla became international for a few days.
On Saturday 6th of November, in TriArmilla we had the pleassure of receiving Jens Martin Askgaard's visit. Jens is a developer in UNIT4 R&D Norway, a company in which several of the team members work.
His trip had a professional purpose, but Jens, a great cycling enthusiast, didn't waste the opportunity bring his road bike in order to ride it in Granada.
We met, as always, at 'the cube' of La General. Jens, being the Norwegian guy he is, was wearing short sleeves and shorts. It seems our cold November morning felt like spring to him.
We introduced him to Jesus and David. "El Marqués" and Lirio demonstrating their people skills in English.
It was the day before the half marathon of Granada, so the idea was to have a quiet ride. We moved at a good pace to the reservoir of Quéntar.
Those who felt stronger did their best in the roughest ramps. Those whose thoughts were more focused on the race of the day after took it easy.
We went back slowly to Granada and had breakfast at 12 in "Paseo del Salón". For Jens, with the typically messed up schedule of a foreigner in Spain, this meant lunch time.
After breakfast, yours truly and Jens went to Monachil as a first approach to his main challenge: the ascent of el Purche.
The following Saturday other team members met meet him and could see how the Viking went up those ramps with a percentage of up to 17%. It seems this guy had to go on until la Peza in order to obtain his mileage.
It has been a pleasure to share these days of international cycling with him.
Jens, make sure not to forget your bike on your next trip to Spain!
