52,52km for pizza

Well, not really just for the pizza, but the pizza is damn delicious. 

We cycled 29,6km to the Rehtori restaurant and did 22,92km back. We always joke that a round-ish route looks better in Strava. As you can see in the collage. 

We cycled about 3 hours and the last 5km nearly "destroyed" me. My right calf started to cramp a bit and I was totally out of steam. I was cycling on empty. But I did it. And when I got in the house, I just sat in the vestibule for about 5 minutes, before I had strength to start changing the clothes. I was soaked. 

It was about 22-26°C and mostly sunny. Very nice weather considering that few hours before we left it looked like our plans were cancelled due to showers. 

I'm so proud of myself for doing this. I haven't had that many chances to ride this season yet. And this was my second longest ride ever. I hope that I manage to do another long one this summer still, but if I don't that's okay. I just like challenging myself and I also believe that if we never do hard things, we don't get better. 

It's forecast 3 days of rain ahead. So I guess this year our summer was on Sunday. 

Ps. If you are wondering about my husband.... He barely broke sweat. He went mountain biking afterwards and now he's playing football. It amazes me that he has the right mindset to go cycling with me at all. Rides with me must be totally and utterly boring to him.
