I managed 887 km in May, more than in all but two months last year.
Yesterday I left home in the mid-afternoon for a ride out to Wada toge. On the Tamagawa cycling path I bumped into Jose (@Jayves), who was on his way back from Chichibu (191 km total), still looking as fresh as a spring chicken.
We chatted about upcoming rides and made plans for some rides together in the autumn.
I managed to climb Wada and descend again before it got completely dark. On my last few rides there I had left it so late, I either descended or climbed and descended in the dark.
I got home again at 21:30, having done 106 km.
This was my last weekend that I could ride before the 600 km brevet on June 21/22.
I will be going on a business trip later this week that includes two weekends. That brevet will be even tougher for me than last year's attempt in September, when I was well trained. I expect it will be much hotter in June than it was in the initial run in September.
