  Juleón "Jude" Tholet has survival in his DNA. His father, Cleon, lived through imprisonment and torture during Pinochet's military coup in Chile. His mother, Penny, risked everything to gain her husband's freedom and flee the country with their newborn son. But as a closeted gay teenager growing up in Vancouver, Jude is targeted by a neighborhood bully called el Cóndor, culminating in a vicious hate crime that forces the Tholets to flee their country again. 
  Jude cautiously rebuilds his life in Seattle, becoming an accomplished pianist, but his his wings have been clipped and he cannot seem to soar in his relationships. Only family remains a constant source of strength and joy, until a DNA test reveals something that shocks all the Tholets: Jude is not their child.

The tale ends with Jude digging through his genetic code in a quest to find his biological parents. Are they alive? Or are they among Los Desaparecidos—the Disappeared Ones?

  Competitive cycling is a thrilling and demanding sport that requires a blend of physical endurance, mental toughness, and technical skill. Whether you’re aiming to excel in road races, time trials, or mountain biking events, understanding the foundations of competitive cycling is essential for success. 
  At its core, competitive cycling is much more than just riding fast. It is a structured discipline that involves strategic planning, consistent training, and mastering various techniques. Each cyclist brings a unique blend of strengths and weaknesses, making it crucial to tailor training plans to individual needs and goals. Understanding the demands of different types of races—be it criteriums, stage races, or endurance events—is the first step in defining your path as a competitive cyclist. 
  Training plays a pivotal role in achieving cycling excellence. It is important to strike a balance between endurance, strength, speed, and recovery. Cycling-specific exercises and drills help refine pedaling efficiency, enhance power output, and improve overall performance. Additionally, structured training plans that incorporate both on-bike sessions and off-bike conditioning are key to building the physical and mental resilience required for competitive cycling.
