@felixgarciapLos niños de la comunidad Armonía siempre salen, con sus bicicletas, para hacer competencias entre ellos; especialmente cuando llueve. Les encanta la sensación de frenar, con los zapatos de goma, en los charcos de agua. Los emociona ver como se le ensucian los impecables zapatos….
Un domingo salieron por la tarde. Ya llevaban una hora fuera de casa. La abuela Claudina refunfuña e inmediatamente llama a su nieto y ordena:
-Carlitos, ya basta por hoy de pasear. Tienes que hacer la tarea para tu clase de dibujo.
Carlitos se despide del resto del equipo diciéndoles:
-Para mañana anuncian lluvia. Saldremos después de terminar las tareas. Así nuestras abuelas estarán tranquilas.
Carlitos entra a la casa. Doña Claudina tenía todo preparado: la rica torta de chocolate que le gusta a su nieto y, también, los pinceles, hojas blancas y la acuarela. Todo estaba dispuesto sobre el escritorio, de madera de caoba, hecho por su esposo Evaristo.
Carlitos entra contento a la casa. Le da un beso a su abuela. Al ver todo le dice:
-Muchas gracias abuelita por consentirme.
-Luego de comer la torta, a cepillarte los dientes responde Claudina.
Carlitos corrió veloz. Tenía ideas que quería plasmar rápido en el papel. Ese mes se seleccionarían los mejores dibujos para la competencia estatal. Los ganadores recibirían becas para profundizar sus estudios en dibujo. Un rayo de luz lo iluminó….decidió pintar a su abuela en una competencia de bicicletas. Primero hizo el bosquejo, pintaría a su abuela con pantalones y zapatos de goma. Aunque, Doña Claudina, no usa esa indumentaria. Ella es una dama coqueta, le gusta engalanarse con sus zapatos de tacón, vestido hecho a medida y su cartera de cuero. Esa que trajo de su viaje a la Argentina. En fin, Carlitos puso su imaginación a trabajar.
Al terminar el dibujo llama a sus amigos. Se reunieron en la sala. Todos comentaron los dibujos. Al escuchar el alboroto, Claudina, se asoma discretamente a la sala. Se sintió feliz al ver y escuchar lo que su nieto decía. Pero este le tendría una sorpresa mayor….
Eduardo, el formal del grupo, comenta:
-¿Y si hacemos una competencia de bicicletas con las abuelas?
-Fantástico, vamos a prepararla, comenta Carlitos.
Los niños decidieron hacer una competencia de manera formal. Para ello solicitaron ayuda al papá de Eduardo, José. El Señor José se encargaría de todo el evento y, de convencer a las abuelas.
Llegó el anhelado día de la competencia. Todos estaban en sus marcas. Las abuelas competían en equipo con sus nietos. Ganarían si ambos, tanto la abuela como el nieto, llegasen de primero. Para sorpresa de todos Claudina llega de primero, seguida por su nieto. Los aplausos no se hicieron esperar. El patrocinante del concurso anuncia que, Carlitos, ganó la beca para continuar los estudios de pintura. Pero había una sorpresa inesperada…..La emoción fue mayor cuando le dan el premio a Doña Claudina:
-Y para usted un cheque para realizarse un traje a medida con la famosa diseñadora Leonora Sandoval.
Debido al éxito obtenido con el concurso, pedaleando con las abuelas, decidieron que el mismo se realizaría anualmente.

I invite to participate:
The children of the Harmony community always go out, with their bicycles, to compete with each other, especially when it rains. They love the feeling of braking, with their rubber shoes, in the puddles of water. It thrills them to see how the impeccable shoes get dirty.....
One Sunday afternoon they went out. They had already been out of the house for an hour. Grandmother Claudina grumbles and immediately calls her grandson and orders:
-Carlitos, that's enough walking for today. You have to do your homework for your drawing class.
Carlitos says goodbye to the rest of the team and tells them:
-It's supposed to rain tomorrow. We'll go out after we finish our homework. That way our grandmothers will be calm.
Carlitos enters the house. Mrs. Claudina had everything ready: the delicious chocolate cake that her grandson likes and, also, the brushes, white sheets and the watercolor. Everything was laid out on the mahogany desk, made by her husband Evaristo.
Carlitos enters the house happy. He kisses his grandmother. When he sees everything, he says to her:
-Thank you very much grandma for spoiling me.
-After eating the cake, brush your teeth, replies Claudina.
Carlitos ran quickly. He had ideas that he wanted to put down on paper quickly. That month the best drawings would be selected for the state competition. The winners would receive scholarships to further their studies in drawing. A ray of light shone on him ..... He decided to paint his grandmother in a bicycle competition. First he sketched, he would paint his grandmother with pants and rubber shoes. Although, Mrs. Claudina doesn't wear those clothes. She is a flirtatious lady, she likes to adorn herself with her high heels, custom-made dress and leather handbag. The one she brought back from her trip to Argentina. Anyway, Carlitos put his imagination to work.
When he finished the drawing, he called his friends. They gathered in the living room. They all commented on the drawings. Hearing the commotion, Claudina discreetly peeked into the living room. She was happy to see and hear what her grandson was saying. But he would have a bigger surprise for her....
Eduardo, the formal of the group, commented:
-What if we have a bicycle competition with the grandmothers?
-Fantastic, let's prepare it, said Carlitos.
The children decided to have a formal competition. They asked Eduardo's father, José, for help. Mr. José would be in charge of the whole event and of convincing the grandmothers.
The long-awaited day of the competition arrived. Everyone was on their marks. The grandmothers competed as a team with their grandchildren. They would win if both, grandmother and grandson, came in first. To everyone's surprise Claudina came in first, followed by her grandson. The applause was not long in coming. The sponsor of the contest announces that Carlitos won the scholarship to continue his painting studies. But there was an unexpected surprise..... The emotion was greater when they gave the prize to Mrs. Claudina:
-And for you a check to have a custom-made suit made by the famous designer Leonora Sandoval.
Due to the success of the contest, pedaling with the grandmothers, they decided that the contest would be held annually.
