Girona Gran Fondo 2018 : Nocturne ja palauttava lenkki

Perjantai 15.6.2018

klo 0.59

Girona Gran Fondo and the Nocturne criterium. Racing up 20% cobblestone climb. Great fun although suffering from a stomach virus cut some 30-45% away from my normal power.

So many people cheering for me: “go. Viking go!” I did an extra lap just to thank the spectators.

And afterwards some spectators told me : “ well done, big man. Very impressive! “.

I am so flattered and a bit proud.
