Our winner of the # ExtremeSelfie15 has come to collect his prize and we have been able to talk a little with him about his concerns regarding mountain biking and Extreme Bardenas , a test in which Aitor Alfaro, a 25-year-old murchantino, has competed for the first time.

1. What is your motivation?

It was a small (or big) extreme challenge that I had with some friends: reaching the finish line in good position and with a good time.

2. Would you recommend it to other mountain biking fans? why?

Totally recommended, very good organization, an extreme mountain biking adventure in a desert setting. Very different from the tests that you find out there.

3. Advice for future race participants?

My advice for a hot day like this year: very constant HYDRATION during the test, train a little and make specific preparation for the test and for the terrain.

4. Do you usually do mountain biking in the Bardenas? Why do you think it is an ideal place to practice this sport?

Not much, but it seems to me to be a totally different place with respect to the rest of the landscapes that we can find throughout the entire Ribera de Navarra. You have all kinds of routes and difficulties to practice.

5. How many years have you been practicing mountain biking? Why did you start?

I started 3 years ago. Many of my friends practiced mountain biking, I was more on the road. until the "bites" began with each other and in the end I decided to join them in the adventure.

6. What is your favorite MTB route in Navarra?

My favorite route is Murchante's Night and Bike

7. What did you think of the # ExtremeSelfie15 contest?

Interesting and risky because it is not easy to take a selfie when you are riding at 35 km / h in a group of 30 or 40 cyclists.

8. Will you participate again next year with your selfie?

Of course, there would be no more ... and I will try to win the prize again!
