Dolomites vs Staycation day 2
With cycling up mountains currently in the lead then Mrs Crusader and crew decided to up their game by introducing a variety of activities into their day. After yesterday’s success I decided to supersize my approach by adding more miles and climbing.
A quick summary of my day was that it was hard but fun. I conquered 5 Passos and was right on the limit by the end, as it should be. However a lot of the ride was on quite busy roads making it hard to enjoy the views.
For stat fans it was 81 miles, 31 miles climbing a total of 3200m, 8 hours in the saddle and 10 hours in total. 4500 calories burnt with 5 water bottles and 1 small beer drunk. 1 pizza, 2 gels, 1 energy bar and 1 packet of chocolate wafers consumed.
I would say it was an epic ride but unlike yesterday I probably wouldn’t bother to do again so 8/10.
The following few photos give a good summary before we look at Mrs Crusaders day.
Unlike my super efficient breakfast Mrs Crusader and gang had an overly leisurely alfresco one before eventually heading for cley to look round an expensive art shop. Fortunately no art was purchased. After a short walk the group were exhausted so it was time for mid morning coffee.
It was then off to the beach at Cromer for a sea swim including some synchronised, a real treat for the tourists I’m sure.
After this the day gets a bit confused as much ice cream was consumed and some more cafes visited for lunch, afternoon tea etc.
Then it was back to the cottage for a debrief over beer and wine.
Although I would have rated this day about a 3 apparently this day rates as an 9.5/10 so it’ one all and all to play for tomorrow.
