Cycling challenge # 4

My cycling challenge number 4 consisted of riding 100kms while still cilmbing at least 1000m.

Being on the bike for almost 4 hours is a challenge in itself for me, but adding the strong icy winds we had today it turned into a real battle to keep pedalling after about 75kms or so. By the end of the ride my hands and feet were numb and muscles were much more sore than they should have been.

I didnt quite get the 100kms and although it was a slow cold and windy slog towards the end, I still loved the ride and it was good to be pushed by a different variable apart from distance or terrain this time. It turned out the weather was the true challenge for number 4.
