Picking on Rizal


(Part I)
My younger relatives, sturdy branches of the Rizal genealogical tree, have often asked during family reunions – why Rizal? Why was he singled out? Why was he the only one executed under such dramatic circumstances? He was banished to rot in Dapitan, imprisoned in Montjuich and Fort Santiago, tried by a kangaroo court, then killed in  Bagumbayan at the crack of dawn. If he retracted, why did they have to kill him? You can tell we believe the retraction  was invented by the friars and sadly perpetuated by their successors.
Rizal never took up arms in his life time. The Liga Filipina was an open, mutual-benefit association that promoted education, agriculture, trade and commerce. Rizal was passionate about education, socio-political reforms, abhorred racism, was afflicted with wanderlust, loved to learn languages.

It’s a tremendous place that took me hours to explore, so I figure in these times when COVID is keeping us at home I could let you take a mental trip about a hundred miles outside of Barcelona. Today, let’s focus on the road racing bikes!
As the museum is so close to Barcelona, their focus is on the 24 Hours of Montjuïc, one of the more interesting tracks in racing history. Founded in 1932, it is a former street circuit in Barcelona on Montjuïc (which translates to Jewish Mountain in Catalan). It featured a 2.35 mile long course, just 0.3 miles of which were in a straight line.
