A very relaxing day, I even slept late, so I guess I did try yesterday. Breakfast was a very relaxed affair, I'm the only guest at the moment so I was just chatting with Jurgen and his Dad, mostly about the tour.
My ride was 2 1/2 hours easy endurance, that's in the lower half of my endurance zone and at the beginning my legs felt like they were well used yesterday but by the end of the ride were turning over OK. It occurred to me on the ride that I probably should have given my new wheels a try, the reduced weight (I checked the website, 1015 gms the pair) would have been really useful on that climb which according to my computer was 75m of altitude gain in 2.5km, not a lot compared with the tour boys but done 8 times at close to full gas every 6 km's was enough for me.
Tomorrow's race is a circuit that I know from last year, assuming it will be the same, and I don't like it that much, too many really slow corners. I'm OK with the bike handling but its all the sprinting back to race speed from almost dead stop, I know its going to hurt my legs, I also know I have to do it and it will stand me in good stead next week.
Spent the afternoon chilling and watching the tour, cleaned my bike, then dinner.
