so there’s something to attack but I’m sticking to the plan 260 the whole way up enjoy it first and for most but beat last year L Muchachos H I did it h Amigos H 37:51 provisional time 10 minutes off my PB it’d be interesting the power there were bits where I couldn’t hold 260 when it got flat and it was just difficult I think it’s definitely a climb that experience will help shave off a lot of time but I am buzzing with 3751 better than I thought I’d get all Migos mucho fantastic go ombre don’t know what accent that was just high on mejoran life right now because it’s hard not to be when you’re just cruising around like this in this weather on these roads amig go yeah just that view is breathtaking the GoPro won’t do it justice I sto back there for a few photos it’s phenomenal and totally now in just relax and enjoy mode for the rest of this ride because the target that was set out has been achieved and my legs are toast wait so freestyle P my legs are gone met strong Swiss France that’s not a country that’s his name but he’s very strong W day he brought me the seing route about 5 miles back from camp for say hola hola hola time can’t pick all but yeah what of you my
