hard riding II: 30 km's going uphill:
2nd part of the day: Martigny
- Col du St. Bernado
Well, now was coming the hard part of the day. After doing already
two passes I had to go up to a really high one.
the track had no end
a typical dog of that area
exhausted
looking for a job, swiss engineering
I was really tired, exhausted, I could say I was fucked (sorry,
I shouldn't say that and even not write it). Anyway, I didn't want to, I couldn't
bike anymore and I saw on that sign 7 more km's. Furthermore I thought about
it: If there is a tunnel and no trucks are allowed to go over the col it might
be even steeper. I wasn't wrong.
I want to go through the tunnel
It was really exhausting, but I had still time
to do some awesome shots. Well, that was the only thing how I could motivate
myself and now I am quite happy that I did them. The area look like a moon landscape.
It was so steep sometimes (often, all the time) that I couldn't go straight,
I had to go in serpentine up hill. I need the whole road, that was sometimes
a problem when a car came, but I guess they could understand me.
