I had'nt ridden for a month after the Styrkeprøven insanity. Mainly due to being on holiday With the Family. But I have to admitt to not being physically able to for the week following it..
Attempted a sufferfest vid last week. Only to Discover my Power had dropped off dramatically. So Saturday was all about getting some distance into my legs, attacking a few Climbs in prep for the alps, but most all to HTFU.
It was meant to start easy. But my riding bud was a little delayed. So he would take a quicker route and meet me at a petrol station 25km or so into the ride. This of course meant war. So I stupidly pushed a bit to get there first. After that was a stretch of motorway which is pretty horrible to ride. Lots of Close fast traffic. So we kept the pace up. Hitting the short but tough Climb pretty cooked. Have to say it hurt pretty bad. But it was Nice to feel pushed again. Rode the rest of the 160km pretty easy. Aside from attacking the odd Climb.
Rode a winding, undulating Coastal road, With breath taking scenery. The weather was mild, and the road absolutly traffic free. Bliss.
Not sure why Strava thinks it involved 'epic suffering' aside from busting a gut on a few hills. It was great spin, and a Nice reintroduction to the saddle.
