Flat but worth to be recorded ride https://www.unbiciorejon.com/2019/02/javiers-ride-classification-criteria.html
You could argue that deciding to ride on the full setup I’ll use in my August 1200km was not the cleverest of my decisions.
Yes, the ride is flat if you consider it is a 400km ride, BUT, if you consider you have close to 3000m of punchy climbing in the first 200km AND you are going to ride with a bunch of very strong riders to show up to the ride on a fully loaded, heavy bike can only be described as cycling suicide.
“My kingdom is not of this world”. That’s what I was telling myself all of the ride as I was being slaughtered again and again.
And I was happy with it. Managed to hold myself and go for the first and unique coffee until km 300. Survived the ride and now I’m thinking I’m on a very good path to have a fantastic ride in August.
“Delayed gratification”, the trick is to enjoy just the thought of the gratification while you are in the delaying phase. That’s how I’m feeling today.
Feeling that, and a considerable amount of tiredness on my legs.
Take care
