Downhill Biking Barcelona

Philosophical Psychological Walk

# Philosophical Psychology **Welcome to Philosophical Psychology!** Join us on our Walks, where we philosophize about life and share our opinions as we walk through parks and nature. The main goal is to get together and share our views on life and the world around us. We gather at the intersection of **psychology** and **practical philosophy** to examine the questions that neither discipline can fully answer alone: The question for this walk is: What is a good life? No prior knowledge required. Just an open mind... Hope to see you there. Best, Didi We meet under the Arc de Triomf. *** *** **Who I am** I am a psychologist and psychotherapist, also with a PhD in Philosophy. *** **What to Expect** * A respectful, intellectually stimulating atmosphere * Philosophical and Psychological perspectives you can perhaps apply to your life * A community of people who take interesting ideas seriously

Wednesday Morning Blasts

**Weekly Wednesday Morning Rides are here!!** **Where & When:** * **Location:** **Forum (Poblenou)** * **Time:** 06:30 (Now that mornings are getting lighter this sees us return for 9am latest) * **Route:** https://www.strava.com/routes/3458756381789219340 **What to Expect:** This is a fairly flat group ride with just one key climb that is neither too long or too steep. The ride is designed to be done in approx 2.5 hours for fitter riders and sees us ride as a group before either heat or traffic are a factor. We'll ride together as a group, either single-file or double-file depending on traffic conditions. Whilst we will wait at the top of climbs and other easier areas, this is not a beginner ride. Please be prepared to be dropped if you can't keep up with the pace. **Is This Ride for Me?** While this ride is open to everyone, we ask that you are comfortable riding in groups, have a road bike, and have done rides of similar distance and elevation before. We welcome all newcomers but everyone is expected to be self-sufficient, therefore please bring not only your bike but also sync the route, bring phone, cash and lights. **Safety:** Ride leaders will do their best to keep the group together, moving smoothly and safely at all times. We'll stop at red lights and obey traffic rules. Ultimate safety starts and ends with everyone riding responsibly, and everyone will be responsible for their own safety. There's no commercial interest behind this event; it's just a bunch of people sharing a fun day out. Looking forward to riding with you!

🏕️Nit al bosc • Pic dels Pessons, 2863m i Pic d'Envalira, 2823m⛰️🌲 ☀️2d/1n🌙

🦫 Balaitous (3144 m) con vivac 🏕️ ☀️2D/1N🌙

Continuamos con la saga de los tresmiles y coleccionando esos vivacs incómodos que, por alguna razón, siempre terminan siendo los que más recordamos. Esta vez nos vamos al Balaitous, el primer tresmil del Pirineo si llegas desde occidente. Una montaña vieja, enorme y orgullosa, rodeada por un océano de granito donde caminar se parece más a atravesar la espina dorsal de una bestia prehistórica que a seguir un sendero. Dormiremos junto a los ibones de Arriel, bajo las estrellas, en tienda o vivac, buscando esa contradicción que tanto nos gusta: descansar y agotarnos al mismo tiempo. Venimos a desconectar, pero también a sentir las piernas arder. A encontrar silencio mientras el corazón golpea fuerte dentro del pecho. Alrededor se alzan el Palas, el Arriel y el Lurien, guardianes de roca que no alcanzan los 3000 metros pero que poseen igual de mucha grandeza que sus hermanos mayores. Sus siluetas vigilan un territorio infinito de lagos, bloques y horizontes rotos. Durante dos días avanzaremos pesados por las mochilas y ligeros por dentro. Volaremos despacio. Respiraremos fuerte. Intentaremos recordar por qué seguimos regresando a estos lugares donde todo es incómodo pero hace que la vida sea más viva. ## 🔗 DETALLES TÉCNICOS **💢 Sábado Embalse de la Sarra - Ibón de Arriel** \- Distancia: 7 km \- Desnivel: de subida 850 m / de bajada 80 m \- Tiempo estimado con paradas: 6h \- Dificultad: **MEDIA**.
