Training objective: last kick at the cat before #theride, so just easy tempo rides Tuesday and Wednesday for 2 hours each, followed by rest (and travel) days Thursday and Friday and a light 45 minute spin on Saturday before tackling Stelvio on Sunday morning... Kept the heart rate in the 140-150 bpm's range for the most part, though it dropped significantly when I got caught behind a vehicle and its oblivious driver at about the 1 hour 50 minute mark... And whoa, was that ever a windy ride! How windy? I saw a sheep get blown over by the wind, that's how windy. Wheels were close to flying out from under me a few times, but no problemo. The rain came down hard for the last 15-20 minutes or so. What an adventure! :)
