More cycling fun

Yep, more cycling related activity. This time the Glockner Koenig mass bike ride/ race. Basically an uphill race 27km long, with 1800m climbing, the steepest section being 12% and incorporating 14 hairpins. In other words: world of pain!

This ride has been on the cards for a while since Mum and Dad did it a few years ago. Me and Dad rode this year and what a challenge! I managed to finish in 1hr 38min about 20 mins behind the winner and in 87th place out of 2020, and was felt totally spent. Dad wasn't too far behind in 3hr 13min.

Last few metres. The finish was amazing - 2445m above sea level with a fantastic view, way above the treeline.
