We both knew this was going to be a tough day of cycling. Major mountains needed to be climbed. We left with low overcast skies and a temperature of plus 7, without rain.
It felt like all morning we were climbing. It was very slow going. Road was so steep at one point that we ended up walking our bikes for over 2 km’s. In total for the day we ascended 1,092 metres. Going downhill our top speed was 63.7 km’s per hour. Speed limit was 60 kmh.
We travelled 98 kms for the day.
