A 3K Climbing Session In The Sunny Spa Region
Yesterday was international workers' day, which happens to be a holiday in Germany. To make good use of this day I went on a long ride full of climbing.
Along the way, we climbed many hills that are part of the Liège-Bastogne-Liège classic monument of cycling. It was the perfect sunny day! Here are some pictures and my Strava stats:
As you can see, it was a great day, training- and entertainment-wise!
Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Great performance Michel! Awesome region to cycle. A shame many roads are not in a good condition.
Thanks man! I'm finally noticing all the hard work is paying off slowly! In two weeks I will be giving it all in a 6-day tour in the Alpes!
And to be honest, the roads weren't so bad. I've been cycling a lot in the area a little north of the route in this post. There, the situation is way worse. I guess my friend who was in charge of the routing did a good job :)
Anyways thanks for dropping by! I see that you are also pretty active on Strava :)
I was triggered by the last picture, which made me think about when I rode my bike there last year.
Good to hear there you had good roads. When we get back to the Ardennes (likely this year) I can have a look at your routes to come up with a route for our team.
Does a 6-day tour mean you are going to cycle all those six days? And what cols are you going to cycle there?
My cycling season has also started indeed. Now we are building up the distance and later we will go to locations with a bit more (real) hills.
Ah, nice! Let me know when you are around, maybe I can join you for a day or so! I'm signed up for Tour de Kärnten in Austria. So no "famous" cols, let's say. But nevertheless a real challenge for me :)
Here is some more info on this tour.
What it comes down to is 450 km and 7,500 meters of climbing including a flat time trial. It's my first, "more serious" cycling event, let's see how this goes :p
It sounds like a very challenging (but doable) tour. Especially this early in the season it would be hard for me.
We plan to do a training weekend from Ascending Day (30 May) to June 2nd. We might either stay in the Ardennes or South Limburg. I'll let you know when I know more.
