So when I started the blog, it was initially with the aim of winning D-grade in the Tour of the North. That's a local stage race run by the local cycling club. Over the subsequent months it evolved into a let's do the Alpine Classic 200 Km ride. What happened?
Well the 2022 Tour of the North was run and won without me. The bottom line is I simply hadn't done enough training for it (well I could have ridden it, I'd have just gotten my ass handed to me). My eyes turned to the Alpine Classic in March - I like the idea of long enduro rides more than racing, and I think the writing for the Tour of the North was probably on the wall already back in March
I also managed to fall sick the Tour of the North weekend - now that's not really any excuse, though I'd have been filthy had I trained my ass off only to get sick.
Who knows what the future holds. Maybe the 2023 Tour of the North could become a new target? Let's see after the Alpine Classic
