This ride was as tough as I have done in a long time. Not the distance or the climbing (although both were considerable), but the speed. The group included a team of UCI ranked Dutch mountain bikers, who I think are camped out here for a training camp. They are seriously pushing the envelope every time they go out, and trying to stay with them is bicycle suicide.
The final run home yesterday (20 odd km), I don't think dropped much below 40km.
I was a drooling mess by the time I got back to the hotel.

Ant, didn't realise you guys were riding while you were over there, just thought you were soaking up the atmosphere, eating pasta and drinking wine. Are you pre-riding the Giro stages?
