As we started our ride everyone was buzzing to get to the first climb Koppenberg. As we approached I felt scared and nervous but excited. Hitting the cobbles I had a good tempo and I was smashing it! Up ahead I could see a wall of stopped riders, well walkers, no one could get by. Walking up was attually really hard because the cobbles were wet and it was steep. Luckily, as it flattened a little I could get back on and ride up th climb at a fast pace until I realised that the top was further away then I thought!
53k in to the ride we had gone flying down the descent and reached Oude Kwaremont. I felt better about this long one then all of the others because I had ridden it before. I started with a steady tempo and kept it going. Unfortunately, my waffle I had been saving (from the feed stop) fell out my pocket, so when I came to finish eating it I couldn't 😜.
Paterberg as my legs were started to burn. I kept a tempo and tried to do everything I've been taught. As it kicked up, I stood up, my legs burning. I made it, I climbed the Paterberg! I was so happy!
