I felt terrible the whole time and i constantly got dropped by my riding partner on the hills which is a bit unusual cause normally i'm the first one up!! anyway thats my grumble for the day!

And my legs, like yoghurt or something... Much better do do active recovery in the morning and do some heavier riding in the evening! __________________ /Joakim www.joakimnordwall.com

Fortunately, I'm at the stage of my life where I can easily call it a day if I'm not feeling up to it. I did a 90k ride on Sunday which took me 3 hrs. No pressure and nothing to prove. __________________ Pain is inevitable...suffering is optional

how can you ride that early????

When I wake up @ 6:30 AM Its barely 40 degrees (F) out yet. It must be location or something. The Temperature didn't get warm enough to ride untill 9:30 AM.

After 15k 3th time over the not so steep climb with only 42kù/u average I got dropped of the back, never had such a bad day this year. Maybe, probabely due to the fact that I didn't ride for the last 3 days(thir, fri sat) due to a crash on monday altough the wednesday race 45,1 km/u and 39out of 273 was ok. __________________ A winner is a loser who didn't quit!
