So today is THE BIG day!
🚴‍♀️🚴🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴

Prehistory:
Owner of a racing bike for 6 months.... ridden it 5 times, so you can take part in the Tour d´Energy for the sixth time, right?

Goals were:
Survive-So get to the finish
Maybe under 2 hours
Over 1500 participants remain among the first 1000 on the 45 km route.

All goals achieved

I actually didn't want to take part at all, but Andreas talked me into signing up for the 45 km route at least....... Only......the person who talked me into it couldn't take part for health …
