Today the weather was just stunning. We left at 7.30 and took a look stretch with the on-road folks, which was wild. It's really a different culture. After we split up, we took a couple of paths and got back on the road, this time for a loooong, intense climb. It was the first of a series, adding up to just under 1000 meters over the course of the day. We climbed gravel. We climbed volcanic rock in a weird gray black mix. We climbed dirt. It was exhausting, but we were all so eager to ride after yesterday that I think it gave us (well me, at least) strength. The day ended with a 15 km flat/downhill zippy canyon trail that spiked the adrenaline.
Tonight was the annual Alyn hospital presentation, with a few speeches and videos that remind us why we are doing it all. Also a tribute to two cops who protected is last year and died shortly after, one on an accident and the other stopping the ax-wielding terrorists in last year's jerusalem synagogue attack. He and the terrorist killed each other - he was a Druze, and the whole family was there...
Tomorrow the weather forcast is shaky. Might be anothe soaking wet day... We will probably ride, but they've got plans for non-mud trails. I hope :-)
