230, that's a lot of weight to push up 1300m. I say Wally was the hero of the ride. Sounds like slo was an "egreggio" stand in for il Derny Giallo.
It was 30°c here yesterday. I did the rcircuit solo @ 30.01 kph. I am feeling pretty good, 1.5 kilos lighter than at lanciano and at 172.5lbs about the same weight as 9colle last yea with lessgut and two more weekends to train. I havn't been doing any long rides bit i expect to change that.
A big change is that i took an alergy treatment this year and am breathing much, much better. I hope it takes me through the olive season. I hope to pass the anti-doping :)
