Hills and gravel paths

April 13, 2019

The tour to Aarburg on Thursday completely exhausted my tired legs, as it was mostly uphill. Not an extremely challenging route in itself, but with tired legs and about 22 kg of luggage, it was pure torture. Just before the end, it finally went downhill, but instead of being able to roll down comfortably, my navigation system sent me down a gravel path. With luggage and headwind, I could hardly keep the handlebars straight and had to push the bike. When I finally got back on the road, it suddenly went downhill so steeply that I could barely brake and ended up rolling into the bushes and having to push again. What fun. Eventually, completely exhausted, I arrived in Aarburg and spent the evening quietly.
