- This is what happens after you ride a high intensity route!
(This is not me by the way…merely a depiction of how I felt after the ride!)
Utter, total, absolute EXHAUSTION.
I decided to venture off the beaten track today and – upon my return from the regular route – take that “little side-path” that myself and a friend/colleague had discussed a few times earlier this week. Well, let me tell you something….that is NOT for the faint-hearted!!
It’s a lot more built up than I thought and I think it goes on for quite a way…good news!!. They are also doing a lot of construction on the other side of the bridge so chances are this path is going to be extending a lot further in the near future. As of yet I don’t know HOW far it goes because I decided to stop and turn around while I still had the remainder of my by-then-almost-totally-depleted energy reserves:) There are *long* stretches of downhill (which transform into monstrously uphill stretches once you reverse direction…yikes) and equally long stretches of uphill (which thankfully transform into delightfully downhill stretches once you reverse direction…nice!!). It’s high intensity riding, that’s for sure!
I actually **don’t** recommend that you try it unless you are a seasoned rider!
