Nice weather, great route, good food, nice people. What more do you want? Only the date was a bit unfavorable with Mother's Day. Otherwise I would have driven the 152 km.

After the last few days of hard intervals, I was able to do a lap in basic mode today at an average of 210 watts.
The last hour was very hard with the headwind coming up. I had to pay tribute to the efforts of the last few days.
