Last week I raced the 4 day Costa blanca bike race with my friend Tim. We have always raced well as a pair and had both trained hard for this. Day 1 was a frantic 40k with the usual fast start but we got away well and hoped for a good position. I had a very rough patch half way round after coming back from the UK unwell, but we got the to finish and had 1st place master 50.
Day 2 was a 15km time trial which we were both quite nervous about because the finish had 1km with ramps up to 30%. If you are not strong on a day like that you could lose minutes. We rode fairly steady along the seafront towards the climb and rode well and ended up losing 1 second to the guys in 2nd place, nothing.
Day 3 was another shortish 40km but with 1600mts of climbing and we were both feeling good. The guys in 2nd went off hard straight away and faded quite quickly so we edged past and never saw them again, the best way to race. We carried on pushing hard and passing as many as we could on the single track and it payed off, we gained another 6 minutes.
Day 4 was the longest at 57km and the profile looked quite tough. The guys in 2nd were still putting up a fight on the early single track jams but wearing a leaders jersey gives you a much easier run through the traffic and we got away comfortably. There was some quite technical descending towards the end with both of us taking tumbles, more nerves than anything I guess. Once we passed the 10km to go marker we were rolling towards the finish line with the smiles starting to appear. We ended winning by around 20 mins, A perfect week where the training had really paid off and luck was on our side. Next year?
Regardless of the way that each stage happens at an alternate area around Costa Blanca the CBBR has a cozy and family-like feel because of the way that every one of the racers, including the star groups are prescribed to remain at the amazing, cycling amicable Cap Negret inn complex in Altea. Arranged slap strike into the sea shore, riders and supporters can make the most of their personal time unwinding at the pool, spa or simply visiting with individual contenders.

ReplyDeleteViajar a la Costa Blanca siempre es una maravilla. De hecho, muchos visitantes quedan enamorados de Jávea y deciden empezar a buscar una Inmobiliaria Javea para encontrar la villa o apartamento perfecto para empezar a disfrutar el resto de su vida de la Xàbia y la Costa Blanca.
ReplyDeleteYo trabajé con una inmobiliaria Moraira que me ayudó también desde el principio de la búsqueda hasta que firme en notaria... Se lo agradezco mucho por poder disfrutar de la Costa Blanca es un lujo
ReplyDeleteDonde también creo que hay buenas rutas o al menos mucha gente va a entrenar con la bici es el Valle de Guadalest. Puede ser que sea por todo las cosas que ver en Guadalest y alrededores.
ReplyDeleteI am agree with you.
