Today I rode about 20 miles on the coastal road, which was part of the 2009 Tour de France. The people who rented me the bike wrote to me last night and said "make sure to have a good breakfast because tomorrow's ride is a stunner," which made me think that the views would be stunning. Which they were, but I think what they really meant was that the ride would stun my leg muscles, kind of like, I don't know, maybe a Taser.
The ride was indeed visually stunning. There was absolutely no level roadway for the entire ride; I was either going up a mountain or down a mountain, so it was also the other kind of stunning.
Even a dip in the ocean upon my return and a delightful lunch at a seaside cafe have only slightly reduced my hobbling. I think the pictures speak for themselves.
And a short video:
How, exactly, are you holding the camera while you're filming this?... I'm worried.
ReplyDeleteTruly spectacular. And I'm impressed with those climbs and descents.
