After two straight days of rain, the stuff was absolutely everywhere. The roads were covered in debris which led to near constant weaving around the stones and pebbles, cringing at every pop of the gravel under my tires. Luckily no flats throughout today's ride, and despite the bike handling practice, it turned out to be a very nice day. Blue skies for the most part, halfway warm, with a bit of wind to cool things down: took a normal route up to Ceres d'Huez, but went down to Leven instead of Largo, finding some nice quiet farm roads along the way before the fast descent down to the coast. A few miles of slamming into a headwind before climbing back up and over the hump and going down a fun, technical descent that began in New Gilston.
