I wonder how many of the warm up racers loaded this up and just thought NO WAY!! 😫😫 This is just a relentless climb, but with only 2 or 3 steeper bits so its not a bad climb. Its a very scenic route as well so with just 10 lined up for this, it would be interesting to see how riders approached this one. ( But at least we will all get a mention on this one as long as we finish it!!!)
The very easy to type 😏 “R3-526-BART-VANDENBRANDE” won this with a very strong 12.46 MPH average! Up a 6% average climb as well. 2nd came “hinsbergen” who got the better of his team mate “adampel” this time, reversing the order they came in the warm up race. 4th was the very strong British rider “robbiedoo” with nice average speed of 10.38mph, followed by “Dugas” in 5th who averaged just over 10mph as well. Very strong ride from this top 5 but seems everyone was doing their own thing on this one.
6th came “Lorenzino” who was the last rider to get up this climb in under an hour, 7th came “otero22” a further 14 minutes behind 6th place, but a very healthy 9 minuts in front of top placed Muckers Worldwide rider “Mucker1974” (ME!😁) with team mate “Svard” just 2 seconds behind.
And that’s it, not the most exciting race but another challenge route chalked off the board and a very scenic route to finish the night off.
Thanks to everyone who joined my race, and especially to everyone who did the two rides.
cheers

Soooooo tired after my max effort in the warm up race, and guaranteed a top 10 finish on this one no matter what i did, i decided to use this as a zone 4 training session. Set off nicely, bought the hr up to 141ish and just stayed there. Looks like Svard had the same idea and we just rode up together. Zone 4 endurance training is just so easy to maintain isnt it, and not that much slower than my max efforts sometimes!! Nothing much to report as it wasn’t seen as a race in my eyes, just a training session but it was a very nice route.
Muy buen martes para todos los gustos!! Odio ir para arriba y más odio a los que van como si fueran sin cadena 🥵 menos mal que el verano termino y ahora me avocare a correr martes y jueves y alguna que el horario me coincida los fines de semana!!! Abrazo muckers!!!
