Proper distanspass
Sunday morning before Paris - Roubaix...what can I do? How about a more proper distanspass? Okay. Done. At first I was worried because the strap of my cykelbyxor was hitting my shoulder in a bad spot but once I started it seemed to have more of a compression effect than painful effect. Good good.
The route was Partille - Utby - Gamlestaden - Alelyckan - Eriksbo along the cykelvägar and other little trail sections that appeared once in awhile. From Eriksbo up to Gunnilse is one of those gradual up hills that you don't really noticed until later when your legs are not happy. And from Gunnilse up to Angereds kyrka along Turiststråket is one of those spots where legs complain a lot. This is where the short and steep hills start and continue to Lexbyvägen, Partille's best cycling road.
But, like always, the joys of that road mean I hit the wall somewhere around the horse stable and have to struggle on empty just to finish the last 2km and get home. And that is why I am obviously messing up the idea of distanspass at relaxed pace. I should not have a complete energy crash after 75 minutes. Even if it was 27.5km. That is just how it is.
