It was a blog talking about what I really like especially art motorcycle and outdoor life style, in the years it became a guide for lovers of these things.

Ultrarunners are runners that love long distances races. I run in the desert distances in Marathon Des Sables (250km) and other like DesertCup (180km)…2 years ago the Heverest trail race around Mount Everest (175km). I love the UltraTrailMontBlanc (the legend of the mountain race) in Chamonix every year at the end of August.
