tilltherimsglow: heidiswift: Storm blew in while we were plodding up the final 21k ascent of Susten Pass (topping at 2244m). Lillie cracked. Clouds warred with sun rays. Riders stopped to lay in the grass on the side of the road. The tall kid in the Da Vinci jersey shuddered on his bike and turned the pedals at 25rpm, his helmet on the handlebars, back hunched in apparent agony. We stopped for 15 minutes to wait for Lillie (she’d stopped to rest) and cheered the riders who passed us. At the top the wind blew and blew so Chris and I drank a cup of hot soup and then shot down the other side, descending forever and ever and ever until we were warm again. #alpenbrevet @brevet Take meee -- source link
