Banduxu is a beautiful climb, but harder than what the profile suggests. Not really the best climb for a day I wanted to ride easy.
In a huge display of self discipline I manage to control myself and take the climb as easy as possible.
A shame that self discipline blew in pieces the moment an unknown rider passed me a few meters behind the top of the Fuejo climb.
Inexplicably, I jumped on his wheel. Started to whistle to make the point I was riding easy clear and stayed a few meters behind his wheel all the descent. I'm a very bad person.
We passed another rider and that was the sign for me to take the front and start pushing the pace and show them how it is done. I'm a terrible person.
Luckily for me very soon I was turning right and they were going straight. We told each other goodbye as we were friends.
All in all 10 minutes of not that great self discipline and just another behavior I'm not very proud of.
As penance I punished myself by riding slowly and pledging that I wouldn't flinch if a cyclist passed me.
The fact that I knew that road was not heavily traveled by cyclists detracts a little from my penance. But I can't really count on my self-discipline to get to heaven.
