I finally did 3 laps today. I'm heading to florence next week, but haven't done more than the commute for the last month really. Was planning to hit surrey hills but then ran out of time.... so it was the park in the end.
despite feeling pretty strong, it turned out to be a bit of a faff. lots of traffic, pretty windy, and I had two mechanicals - the cleats coming off my new shoes.
these got paused, so I guess the loop doesnt count. happy to say it was sub 60 though. one day I'll have another crack and do it properly without stopping 2 or 3 times a lap.
Unfortunately/fortunately I was chatting to a guy on a nicely patina'd claud who said he was heading to Tuscany next week too....... for the L'Eroica.
Can hardly believe I've hired a carbon bike to ride around Tuscany the same weekend as 3,500 classical beautiful bikes. It's going to be uber busy and I'm going to look like a twat.
booo.
