Amatørsesongen 2019

Er Mallorca 312 så populær at den blir utsolgt i løpet av veldig kort tid?

Vi må ha en tråd for oss amatører og hvilke arrangement / turer / sykkelferier vi skal drive med i 2019 også.

2019 er jo ikke riktig ennå, men:
- Mallorca 312 åpner påmelding i morgen
- Jotunheimen Rundt åpner påmelding 1. november

tenker å sitte klar til begge påmeldingene

Planen er å være sykkelguide for Bergodal på en tur. Hvilken det blir er for tidlig å si; jeg har en enorm hug til brosteinen på St. Gotthard, men det er kjekt i EU også. Me fær sjau.

Påmelding for Mallorca 312 starer kl 1100 imorgen.

Men har du lyst/ork til å sette deg i en leiebil etter 312km/5050hm? :-)

Den burde heller hete den store kjedsomhetsprøven

Down the valley one speeds, winding backwards and forwards with constant reversals of the view, and steering round the corners with a nicety and care that not even the race path exacts. There is no banking, and the road is flattened slightly at the corners, so that if one has slid a strap along the lever of the front wheel brake, it needs to be momentarily released, or the wheel will skid. This alteration of the brake tension, in fact, is more trying than the actual steering. As the gradient is so steep, and the strain on the hands considerable, one is obliged, on a tandem at least, to resort to a strap; but what is right for the straight rush is too severe for the more level corners; and to maintain control of the steering, and deftly slip back the strap from a tightly wedged lever re- quire much care; the strap, moreover, has quickly to be slid back again to the right before the machine gains too much headway. But for this modification of the gradient at the bends the curves would present no material difficulty to a careful rider on the alert, even though, in some cases, the strata of the road are all but parallel, and it more nearly resembles a colossal piece of crimped wire than anything else to which it can be compared. On a single safety, equipped with two brakes, there need be no strapping of the lever, and no- thing like the strain I felt upon a tandem.
