Early ride up in the fog and almost drizzle to the start. (The hotel didn't serve breakfast before 8 am, so I passed and had a little bread and banana in the room.)

Long Distance French Champs: Started out cautiously to not miss a trail and get going on good motivation. We mostly descended and descended and I skimmed over the course (when I could) as the going was rough again yet less muddy than yesterday. I was apalled at the course. Going down, from there uphill to do a loop and coming back to the lowest part and from there going back all the way up to where we started. Kind of mindless and these uphills were steep, I had to walk and push my bike a lot. There's just no pleasure in doing bike-O like that. I know I don't seem to have the strength anymore for some uphills, but I'm trying my best.
Today, I came in 4/13 and probably the oldest in that field of 60+ (no 65 class).
A good workout though.
