Watching the race after our hard climb!! Day 3 One Tree Hill
We awoke today at 5 am!! Unable to go back to sleep I was just happy that we weren’t jarred awake during the night by leg cramps. I’m shocked we feel so good, muscles are slightly sore but not crippling soreness I expected. Our bottoms are sore though from those tiny hard seats.
After breakfast they shuttled us out to One Tree Hill a tiny community where the pro-riders would be passing twice. Our ride for the day mimicked part of their ride, a 43.5 km ride with two king of the Mountain hills (one a 16% grade). It was important to us that we make it back to our lunch spot before the pro-riders did so Tom and I opted to skip the first half of the ride (which included both KOM’s) and start at the 21km mark. That worked our perfectly, the rest of our group caught up to us the last 1.5 km. We had one climb but nothing like yesterday. We felt good at the end, the weather has been in the 90’s….
