Maybe it's most of you are British and I'm used to cycle in Belgium? I don't know but I just can't deal with the traffic anymore. It started when I rode into Czechia and since then I haven't felt safe apart from some cycle paths left and right.
I'm not enjoying the scenery, I'm not enjoying the cycling. All I feel is fear and stress. Constantly.
Going into this I knew traffic was going to be one of my weak points. But I never expected it to be this bad. And like I said, most of you are probably used to this but I'm not.
Ofcourse it's not only the traffic but because my mental fight is almost gone my body follows. My legs are so sore, I can hardly climb anymore.
So with that in mind I'm pretty sure I can't do the last section. 800 km and 11000 m elevation on big roads is too much.
TCR is a challenge I can't complete.
