The route was demanding, as announced by the organizers – one of the most difficult in the entire cycle. Incredibly steep climbs and equally steep descents along narrow forest paths were unimaginable for me and if I had not driven them, I would not have believed, that I can do it. Additionally, driving was difficult due to the weather – heavy rains, even hail and cold, how it started raining from 30 km it was like that with us almost to the finish line. I was soaked and cold a 10 km descent to the finish line resulted, that I was shaking the whole bike. Traditionally, during the heaviest rainstorm I got a flat tire and a half-hour replacement of the inner tube only added flavor to the whole rally.

However, I was proud of it, that I covered the entire route, even though I rode the bike a few times, I reached the finish line!
