I really liked our avid climb today! It’s a ride that’s basically pegged at 8% the whole way up, it’s shaded, smooth roads, an pretty much zero cars. Which is why we saw at least 5 separate pros today out training on it! Such a fun insight to see how people in their element are working to become the people we hear about and see on tv. It definitely reminds me of a lot of what I occasionally do, too, even if the training grounds near me absolutely pale in comparison! I saw I think three pros on the descent alone, each of which I captured a bit of on my GoPro. Overall, this is a great route. A lot of headwind on the way back, but not as bad as yesterday. Luckily I was able to help Aarika and others get back by taking some good pills and vice versa. Some of the roads are starting to feel familiar 😁 Oh, and lest we forget, I got a flat on a downhill portion. I felt like I was bouncing a bit, so I eventually picked up on the slow leak. Luckily Aarika saw my message and came back to assist, so my roadside issue was managed just fine! Oh and my Karoo decided to break itself last night. It won’t charge, and any cable I use heats up to the temperature of the sun in a few mins and melts the plastic. Not good. I’ll have to contact Hammerhead about it. I had to use one of the Garmin 1030’s that Trek offers and ugh, that device (mainly its UI) is absolute hot garbage. Not sure yet if we’re gonna do another day tomorrow, but if we do, it’ll be short, otherwise, this may have been our last ride in Girona! For a while of course 😉
