Right today the entry went in all €16.50 of it. Also i lost a weeks training on the new bike as it's going to arrive at the end of the month. This whole charade is becoming increasingly more real. I have also printed off an entry for the Granfondo Colli Euganei so i fully intend to enter this my local Granfondo at the end of May. I'll aim to do the shorter ride of 104km and 1200m climbing as part of my increase in training volume but also give me experience of what riding amongst a big group will be like and also start working on my nutritional strategy, i will then decide whether or not to do the Granfondo Eddy Merx in Belluno.
this is a data entry clerk apparently, nothing to do with entering a race
What is also making this charade i mean challenge more real are the costs........having just spent money on my entry fee this morning. As such they look like this
Set of bike lights €24
Cheep pair of shorts €22
Tyre Pump €8
Biomechanical Assesment & Metabolic Tests €200
Bike €1100
Pedals €140
Lapinarello Entry Fee €16.50
Accomodation 3nights Treviso €150
This is not a cheep challenge. And i haven't looked at some proper shorts and riding gear, shoes, water bottles, spares, crash helmet, if i do Belluno the associated costs for that. This is not a cheep challenge.
