Cyclists 🚲 Riding in the National Capital Region (Ottawa/Gatineau) ## Posts - [Ultrafondo 2026, el plan funcionó porque supimos cambiarlo](https://gcclub.ca/es/ultrafondo-2026-el-plan-funciono-porque-supimos-cambiarlo/): Para Laura, José y para mí, aquella edición había dejado un sinsabor. Habíamos roto nuestras marcas personales de distancia, pero no habíamos alcanzado la meta que nos propusimos. Al final fui yo quien tomó la decisión de detener el intento. Nos quedaban kilómetros por recorrer en una vía que no estaba en buenas condiciones y la baja luminosidad iba a convertir la parte final en un riesgo que, como grupo, no tenía sentido asumir. - [Ultrafondo 2026: the plan worked because we knew how to change it](https://gcclub.ca/ultrafondo-2026-the-plan-worked-because-we-knew-how-to-change-it/): For Laura, José, and me, that edition had left us with a bittersweet feeling. We had broken our personal distance records, but we had not reached the goal we had set for ourselves. In the end, I was the one who made the decision to stop the attempt. We still had kilometers ahead of us on a road that was in poor condition, and the lack of visibility was going to turn the final stretch into a risk that simply did not make sense for us as a group. - [What Brings Us Together Can Also Pull Us Apart](https://gcclub.ca/what-brings-us-together-can-also-pull-us-apart/): Sometimes, it becomes easy to make enjoyment depend on winning, or on beating someone else. Sometimes, we hold on to the idea that simply because we deserve something, we should achieve it. And many other times, we confuse believing we are better with being better than others. - [Lo que nos une también puede separarnos](https://gcclub.ca/es/lo-que-nos-une-tambien-puede-separarnos/): A veces es fácil hacer depender el disfrute de ganar o de ganarle al otro. A veces también nos quedamos con la idea de que, solo por merecerlo, ya deberíamos lograrlo. Y otras tantas veces confundimos creer que somos mejores con ser mejores que los demás. - [Beyond The Ride](https://gcclub.ca/beyond-the-ride/): The funny thing is that, despite being “the most connected,” that day we were disconnected. We couldn’t talk or exchange messages on the road. Live location sharing never worked. And still, the summit brought us together. It was a brief, emotional, almost timeless meeting—short in minutes, permanent in memory. A shared achievement, a memory built at altitude. - [Más allá del viaje](https://gcclub.ca/es/mas-alla-del-viaje/): Lo curioso es que, siendo “los más intercomunicados”, esa vez quedamos incomunicados. No pudimos hablar ni intercambiar mensajes sobre la ruta. La ubicación en vivo nunca funcionó. Y aun así, la cima nos juntó. Fue un encuentro breve, emotivo e inmanente: no duró mucho, pero se quedó para siempre. Un logro compartido, una memoria construida en altura. - [Infinity Virtual Tour: 4 weeks, 4 challenges, one goal: consistency as a team](https://gcclub.ca/infinity-virtual-tour-4-weeks-4-challenges-one-goal-consistency-as-a-team/): The Infinity Virtual Tour is more than an indoor race series — it’s a progressive experience built to celebrate what matters most when we ride together: consistency, teamwork, and commitment.
