BRVR - Goats League - Climb 9 - Passo Di Costalunga, Italy

[Aleman]

A special treat for the sprinters among us, this weeks climb, in honor of the Giro d'Italia, is the Passo Di Costalunga from Vigo di Fassa in Italy. A short 9.72m with only 329m of climbing

Lucky he chose that side not the Balzano one!

Are we staying in Italy for a while? There's a few rides I fancy but don't want to be doing them only to find out its 'next week's ride! Although I suppose if you told me the master plan you'd have to kill me straight after

I liked that one 25:35. The new warm up screen at the start is really useful as well.

It's really hard to keep the power up after the climb flattens out.

Good power (for me) on the climb and held on better than expected on the easy bit.

The next ride is the Passo San Pellegrino Enjoy

This ride remember me on a movie title ... The Good, the Bad and the Ugly ... The Climb, the Flat and the Descent

I just don't like that type of ride ... was quite good on climb, had the best time there, but can't find motivation to ride with same power on flat and specialy on descent ... 21:52

23.10 wish it could have stopped before the flat ! lost a lot of time floating down other side

Rain suspends the summer house project, so better late than never, 29:24 please.

BTW, was it just me that nearly hit the brakes to avoid going into the back of the car turning left on the downhill section?

i was concentrating on trying to keep in front of chris epo - at the start of the down hill i was down to 8 second lead and he was gaining at a rapid rate - so glad the line came with just a second to spare - if it was live i am sure he would have found a bit more - but it wasnt - so ha !

I was head down gasping, trying to keep my wattage up to some sort of reasonable level, looked back up and had this car stopped in front just starting it's left hand turn, it was a real "shoot!!!!!" moment for a split second until I remembered I was sat in the shed
