7 Summits 2 Wheels

7 Summits 2 Wheels So not really a blogger nor an influencer. I promise I’ll keep it interesting.

Just a guy that loves to ride motorcycles and would like to climb the highest summits in every continent to “see” the road ridden and the road ahead.

Left Chimbote and my main concern today was to take the Peruvian La Costanera. Riding with the Pacific Ocean hitting on cliffs can be one of the most relaxing experiences that could be out there. Nevertheless, the bug of getting closer to the border was itching in my neck.
Decided to test a loaded bike with “perfect for asphalt Pirelli tires” sounded like a recipe for disaster. And it went that way, it didn’t take long for me to finish buried in the sand. Stubborn to remove any luggage out of the bike, i made use of its power to leave the sands, and it worked out. Unfortunately i forgot to turn off the traction control feature and a Xmas tree started on the dashboard with some error messages all over. KTM managed to get this bike smart enough re-test everything and decide if continues with the messages or not.
I then passed by the “evitamiento” in Lima exactly when I didn’t want to, midday rush hour. Took me some time to get out of there and time was shortened to reach my today’s destination, any place as close to Camana as possible.
After having a quick lunch outside Lima, the Costanera called again to get the bike a second time buried in sand. Slow learner, maybe... but the temptation was just too big. This time to get it out wasn’t at all easy. Managed though and reached Ica. Tiredness took its toll, and after an early dinner, (i was starving), decided to stay here. IOverlander is simply amazing and candid with the ppls reviews. So found a place with it, for USD 10 near by a shopping mall with a bed and a shared shower. All I needed. Ecuador Bike Rental staff was paying attention to my moves to make sure that I was ok.

After Mancora, the idea was to reach Lima in one go. It didn’t happen. Had some issues with customs down the road in the Peruvian side and after that wind and traffic made it a bit complicated. Still managed to ride a good 780 km to Chimbote. A big city near the coast and 2.5 hrs north from Lima.

The ride was epic, had lots of twisties along the Peruvian coast line and kept with me the feeling of dropping all that luggage and to hit those free, like God intended us to.

I tried to get out the asphalt every now and then, but with the bike that heavy and those street tyres I knew it was to ask for trouble, and I was right. Went down to La ensenada, a beautiful rock formation and got buried in the sand. Managed to get out of it without unloading the whole thing.

Riding in the sunset between the Peruvian sand dunes was a wonderful experience. Worth to do it over and over.

**************************************************
Después de Mancora, la idea era llegar a Lima de corrida. No sucedió así. Tuve problemas con la autoridad aduanera peruana por un asunto de la motocicleta, y una vez aclarado el problema, el viento y el trafico complicaron la situación un poco mas. Como sea alcance a llegar a Chimbote a unos buenos 780 km desde Mancora, y a solo 2.5 horas de Lima.

El viaje fue épico, con muchas curvas en la Costa Peruana. Solo con ganas de descargar el equipaje y darle a esas curvas como Dios manda.

Trate de salir del asfalto de rato en rato, pero en esas arenas con la moto tan pesada y con llantas de asfalto, sabia que era meterse en problemas, y fue así. Me quede atrapado en la arena un par de veces, pero pude salir empujando la moto, sin descargar nada.

Rodar entre las dunas peruanas en el atardecer fue una de esas experiencias que te hace sentir tan pequeño...............................................................

Made it to Peru crossing Ecuador from North to south in less than 7 hours. Obviously, this is not the goal of an adventure, but I’m running late for the climbing window to summit Aconcagua. Our first border cross was a success and tonight, we’ll spend the night in Mancora. Tomorrow another rush day 1230 km to Lima to comply with the schedule.

**************************************************
Logré cruzar el Ecuador de Norte a Sur en menos de 7 horas. Obviamente no es el objetivo del viaje el quemar kilómetros, sin embargo me estoy retrasando a la ventana de escalda de la primera montaña, el Aconcagua. Nuestro primer cruce de frontera con Norah y llegados hasta Mancora en una sola pieza. Carpa armada y a caminar por la playa. Mañana nos esperan 1230 km hasta Lima para poder avanzar con lo programado. ..............................................................

Needless to say, training and work out is a must for this endeavor. For the last 3 months I have been under regular training, this being intensified over the last month.

As Simon Moro states, the most important training is aerobic training for these summits. I have mixed my days with running intervals, strength circuits and high cardio training. I’ll try not to bombard the posts with every workout made, but basically it sums up to:

3 half marathon run sessions (every time pushing to reduce my time).
2 session of high intensity cardio (either stairs or plyometric circuits)
2 session of leg focused strength
1 hike to the nearest mountain.

Every week...

**************************************************
Sin necesidad de decirlo, el entrenamiento y condicionamiento físico es una constante en esta empresa. Por los últimos 3 meses he estado bajo entrenamiento regular, intensificando el mismo en el ultimo mes.

Como lo dice Simon Moro, el entrenamiento aeróbico es lo mas importante para estas cumbres. He mezclado el entrenamiento de la semana mezclando largos trotes con intervalos de fuerza y cardio elevado. Tratando de no bombardear los posts con cada entrenamiento, pero se resume en:

3 sesiones de media maratón cada una (tratando de reducir el tiempo cada vez)
2 Sesiones de cardio de alta intensidad. (Circuitos pliometricos y gradas)
2 sesiones de fuerza enfocada a piernas
1 Salida a la montaña

Todas las semanas.................................................................
