Finally, the goal of the season is here, well, it will be tomorrow.
Yesterday I had a last easy ride around Sæbø where I was joined by my neighbor, Kristoffer. As always it is more fun to go on these easy rides together with someone rather than doing it alone :)
I feel much more ready and better prepared today than I did last year. According to the bathroom scale I have lost more or less 10kg the last 12 months and I have put in more kilometers on the bike this spring than I did last year.
Even so I still have this tingling almost scared feeling in my stomach, more so then I did last year. I believe this is mainly because this year I know what it feels like riding the bike for 7, 8, 9 hours, but also because this year I have a goal for my finishing time for the race compared to last years goal of simply finishing the race :)
The goal tomorrow is to get to Voss in 7 hours and 30 minutes which if I make it will be 1 hour and 30 minutes faster then last year. However I think this is an ambitious goal and it will depend very much on whether I get a group to ride with through Hardanger or not!
Anyway, there is not much more to do tonight then to wash and prepare the bike, eat some pasta and chicken and get a good nights sleep.
