Born in 1978, Joan Pedrero, the current teammate of three-time Dakar winner Marc Coma, has a wide experience in the enduro world. Nevertheless, his dream was to compete one day in the Dakar, live the adventure of his life. He had the opportunity in 2008 with a humble team with a solidarity aim.
With the excitement of a rookie, Pedrero went to Lisboa to take part in the mythical African race, but just that year the organizers were forced to cancel the race due to terrorist threats.
The rider from Canet de Mar took the blow and next year crossed the ocean to be at the start of the first edition of the South American Dakar. The beginning was not as expected. An electrical failure forced him to lose 11 hours in the first day.
However, after this first setback everything went better. The rookie started to gain confidence and did not disappoint. He was able to finish among the top 10 in one of the stages and after 15 hard and intensive days, Joan Pedrero achieved his aim: to complete the Dakar in his first participation -in 42nd. position.
After his first experience in South America, Pedrero was not sure if he would be able to continue taking part in that magnificent race. The high budget required by the Dakar was a barrier difficult to overcome by an amateur rider. But thanks to many efforts, in 2010 he took the step he needed to be known in the raids world. With a rented KTM he was able to take the tenth place in the Dakar, becoming the best classified Spanish and Amateur rider in the race.
That performance gave him widespread recognition and the possibility to enter the MRW KTM Team together with Marc Coma in the following year. Pedrero accepted the challenge and became the assistant of the three times Dakar winner. Together they achieved a faultless result in that edition: Coma won the race for the third time and Pedrero achieved the fifth final position. A feat that allowed him to enter the elite of the Dakar; a dream come true.
For the 2012 Dakar edition, the challenge for the MRW rider is even harder. After showing his great potential in a race as tough as the Dakar, the bar he has set with his amazing performance of last year is very high. His advantages are his humility and his willingness to keep progressing and learning.
Gilman was born on July 3, 1860 in Hartford, Connecticut, to Mary Perkins (formerly Mary Fitch Westcott) and Frederick Beecher Perkins. She had only one brother, Thomas Adie, who was fourteen months older, because a physician advised Mary Perkins that she might die if she bore other children. During Charlotte's infancy, her father moved out and abandoned his wife and children, leaving them in an impoverished state.[1] Since their mother was unable to support the family on her own, the Perkinses were often in the presence of aunts on her father's side of the family, namely Isabella Beecher Hooker, a suffragist, Harriet Beecher Stowe (author of Uncle Tom's Cabin) and Catharine Beecher.
At the age of five, Gilman taught herself to read because her mother was ill.[2] Her mother was not affectionate with her children. To keep them from getting hurt as she had been, she forbade her children to make strong friendships or read fiction. In her autobiography, The Living of Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Gilman wrote that her mother showed affection only when she thought her young daughter was asleep.[3] Although she lived a childhood of isolated, impoverished loneliness, she unknowingly prepared herself for the life that lay ahead by frequently visiting the public library and studying ancient civilizations on her own. Additionally, her father's love for literature influenced her, and years later he contacted her with a list of books he felt would be worthwhile for her to read.[4]
Much of Gilman's youth was spent in Providence, Rhode Island. What friends she had were mainly male, and she was unashamed to call herself a "tomboy."[5] She attended seven different public schools, and was a correspondent student of the Society to Encourage Studies at Home[6] but studied only until she was fifteen.[7] Her natural intelligence and breadth of knowledge always impressed her teachers, who were nonetheless disappointed in her because she was a poor student.[8] Her favorite subject was "natural philosophy," especially what later become known as physics. In 1878, the eighteen-year-old enrolled in classes at the Rhode Island School of Design with the monetary help of her absent father,[9] and subsequently supported herself as an artist of trade cards. She was a tutor, and encouraged others to expand their artistic creativity.[10] She was also a painter.
