A pretty good day. I had a great
sleep last night, but was still not feeling amazing when I woke up. I choked down some toast with jam and headed
out with my Dad, Len, Terry and Harold.
The first bit of the ride was pretty flat, but quickly became a good
climb with grades between 5-7% for about 20 km.
We got to the first SAG and I was feeling pretty awful. We had taken lots of breaks on the climb
(almost every km at one point), but I was feeling sick and nauseous. I lay in the back of the van for 5-10min and
felt a bit better, so decided to carry on.
Right away after the SAG was the steepest climb of the day (up to 9% for
2km), but this was followed by a beauty downhill for 4-5km before the last 5 km
ascent of the day. And…..I made
it!!! Once we were at the top, it was a
smooth sailing day, mostly descending or riding on the flat in a fast
paceline. Super fun! I’m still not totally 100%, but keep
improving and am excited about tomorrow!
