Cycling Vlog #3, pt. 2: First Century Ride of 2023

#cyclingvlog #charlestonsouthcarolina #ravenelbridge #tarmacsl6
This is part two of the ride I did nearly 3 weeks ago. In preparation for my race in Texas, I wanted to put in a lot of miles and do a lot of climbing. The only way that is possible in Charleston is doing bridge repeats. For this ride, I went out to the Ravenel Bridge - probably the most iconic part of the city skyline. The day was a bit cold and VERY windy, but I did get quite a lot of elevation on the bridge!

Ton up! Congrats. Yeah, looked a tough ton with the repeats, never really getting the speed back which you earned on the climbs. All good training though!

I wish it had been more fun - with all the people dodging I never really got in the right headspace. I needed those last 45 to just have fun.

@@ericbarnettcycling I feel you. It really should be fun. Would using the road rather than the cycle path be worse?

[@ericbarnettcycling]

@@ZwiftyZwifter very much so, yes. Certain death.
