Fair points @hippy and @user65501
it is a race after all and whilst I don't think I can win, I hope to finish in <14 days. Flat it is!
Part of me wants the exciting roads, the sweeping vistas - seek out the biggest challenges cause when am I gonna get to ride there again?
But another part is thinking -well you're already going over a ton of mountains, why seek out extra pain when you can haul your 90kg body along the flat a lot more comfortably?
I really admired the dude who did the Stelvio even though he didn't have to last year.
Just not totally sure I want to be that guy.
