1. Cierre cancelado
    He reescrito esta nota 10 veces porque las palabras no son lo mío y no se explicar la montaña rusa de emociones por la que estoy pasando.

    Por ahora se cancela el cierre. Siento las molestias.
    No voy a entrar a valorar los comentarios de algunas personas, cada uno es libre de opinar lo que quiera (siempre desde el respeto). Solo quería comentar, que la noticia de cierre no fue una cosa pensada en dos días sino en bastantes meses y llegó un momento en que era insostenible.
    También les quiero dar la razón aquellos que se quejan del abandono que sufría la web. Si, tenéis razón y es culpa exclusivamente mía.
    Y por último, esta situación cancela gracias a las múltiples personas que se han puesto en contacto conmigo insistiendo en revertir este cierre. Gracias.

    Gracias otra vez a todos.
    PD. Según tenga noticias las iré comentando de este modo.
  2. Tras 22 años de funcionamiento y muchas vivencias, lamentablemente, ha llegado el momento de decir adiós. Lo que empezó siendo un pequeño foro de "backup" de la web que muchos solíamos visitar, Solomountainbike, se convirtió en una web de referencia del ciclismo en general donde se compartían rutas, vivencias, fotos, kdds, etc.

    Gracias a todos los que contribuisteis moderando secciones, participando en los post, compartiendo vuestras aventuras y en general, haciéndonos participes de vuestras rutas en bicicleta.

    Ha sido un verdadero placer. Nos seguiremos viendo en los caminos/carreteras/watopia o donde sea siempre que se pueda ir en bici :)

    Un saludo

    PD. El cierre será el 5 de Abril de 2026.
    PD2. Actualización: Será el 15 de Abril y quizás se pueda revertir.
    PD3. He quitado toda la publicidad que, sinceramente, era excesiva.
    Dismiss Notice

    I've emailed them directly to see what can be done. If this doesnt work out then I have friends who may be able to help. The fewer people involved the better of course.

    By the way medidutrera, I didn't mention before, but in case you don't know, I live in Madrid and am from California, so I can't really solve your problem. I would if I could!

    Orange County, though it's not too orange. I think some years ago there were orange groves there.

    Well that's funny, I went to UCI. Small world. I came here because I was majoring in Spanish and was really interested in the Spanish language and culture and all that sort of stuff. Still here :)

    I bet there's some good riding there! Must be awful being somewhere with great trails and not being able to take advantage of them.
