Reflecting on last years 4,950 metre climb up #passosanfrancisco, taking almost three days to arrive to the top with a 65 kilo fully loaded touring bike up sandy, rocky, dirt roads...wondering why I ever thought it was a good idea to carry a wetsuit and gymnastic straps and rings 😂.
.
Fast forward a year to compare to
last week when I took part in a @colddarknorth hill climbing race up #thestruggle reaching 454m above sea level. There were people that had a carbon fibre bike, stripped of their bottle cages, aero bars and saddle bags...some even went to the extreme of removing their helmets, HANDLE BAR TAPE and front chain rings 😂😂😂.
.
Lesson learned...no one gives a shit which way you do it just get out there and do it. .
