All the way!

Finally managed the whole way of the race!!! eeeeeeeeeeeeee :-)))

This week I spent part of it in Berlin with some friends and when I came back the rainy days were the more commons ... so not too much biking and no climbing also! :-(

Than came easter hehehehehe

Friday afternoon a light 2 hours ride to loose the legs.

Saturday the race path!! Got the two class 3 mountains! The first one, after around 40 km, it 5.5 km long, and I managed to go up at about 12-14 km/h. Of course there were smaller or shorter climbs before. The second climb is shorter but harder and also happens after 65 km, so you're really tired when you get there! I managed to go up at 8-9 km/h ...

At the end it was 76 km in around 3:25 hs, an average of 22.3 km/h. I got home totally destroyed! :-)

Yesterday and today, really rainy and didn't feel like getting all wet!

Things are getting ready for the race.

The average allows me to get to the end, specially because with almos 1400 participants you can always find some group with your pace to make a peloton against the wind. When you're training you're mostly alone and there's no shield, you have to do all the effort.

Gotta find a friend with car to follow with water and some food, so that I don't have to carry it all the way.

It will be fun! I'm sure of that! After the race there's the arrival of the Tour of Lower Saxony, with, most probably, Alessandro Petacchi in the final sprint!

This week is just resting, so, light rides around with no climbs :-)
