Sarina Nihei is an award-winning animation director and illustrator living in Tokyo. Obsessed with Estonian animation while studying graphic design at Tama Art University in Tokyo, Nihei decided to pursue animation and moved to London to start a Master’s degree at the Royal College of Art.

About SOLO NYC:

In the alleyways, back kitchens and matchbox studios tucked away in countless of bustling, yet remarkably unglamorous, neighborhoods wedged within the most vibrant city in the world, there’s magic is happening. Every damn day.

New York’s professional style understated yet relentless. Showing up, doing your best—and doing things a little differently—is the mantra of millions of people who rise with the sun to chase their dreams. With a little luck and a lot of sweat, millions of men and women are making their career ambitions happen, and doing so outside of the traditional career path.

„No Spain – No Gain“ – PCR GRAVIER Bikepacking Adventure by Renaud Skyronka


Après un épique Turin-Nice l’année dernière, notre choix s’est porté cette année sur un tour du Pays basque et de la Navarre
Montagne – Désert – Mer.
Un trio de problématiques pour donner du piment à cette aventure ibérique.
Départ d’Hendaye pour une boucle de 700km, passant par les premiers cols des Pyrénées , puis plein sud vers le désert de Bardenas Reales au coeur de la Navarre. Remontée ensuite vers le nord direction le Parc Naturel d’Urbasa-Andia qui nous fera basculer au Pays Basque espagnol. Nous rejoindrons ensuite la côte en contournant Bilbao pour un retour vers Hendaye en suivant l’océan.

3 salles, 3 ambiances.
7 cyclistes, 7 jours, 7 nuits, 700 km, et 7 conseils avisés pour une aventure réussie.

Avec l’aide précieuse de WTB et MX3.
