not the Pyrenees

july 12 bike
28.2k, 67:51, avg: 25.3kph, max 55kph

the sarcee hill is not a 1000m per earlier post. It is 2.5k and it takes me all the way down the granny gear. And the ring road is now open so I no longer have it to myself. This route will be good training; pity I am only getting to it with less than 4 weeks to go. Looping back round to the sarcee descent was a nice addition and now that my tires are at the proper 120lbs, I booked it down the backside!

Then, returning home and feeling rather chuffed, I sat down and watched the tour kick bloody ass for 160k over the Tourmalet. I'm at once inspired and utterly humbled.
