Today’s session was 3 hours of cycling with 4x20min at threshold (GA2) and a 1-hour brick run — race training, basically.
Still deeply impressed, I got on the bike — and after 3 hours I got off even more enthusiastic. It was a fairly windy day, and up until now I could only really enjoy a tailwind. Since today, that’s changed, and it’s entirely because of this bike. I never thought headwind and crosswind could be so much fun. Good equipment really is irreplaceable.
I experienced the phenomenon several times where the bike just started sailing — it practically rode itself. Especially with a crosswind coming in at a slight angle from ahead. Hell yes! That’s what cycling is all about!
