1ª subida mítica da ladeira Rainha Santa Isabel em bicicleta

Üks esmakordne üritus, kui Coimbras olen sõitnud linnas allamäge üritust, siis nüüd oli kord käes ülesmäge sõita. Üritus meelitas kohale oma korraliku võidupreemiafondiga. Munakivitõus 260 m, ma sain ajaks 58 sekundit, mis tundus rohkem nagu 3 minutit, eriti viimane sirge, kus rahvast ka palju raja ääres rõkkamas tundusid need sekundid venivat. Loomulikult oli vaja selliseks plahvatuslikuks sõiduks kenasti soojaks sõita, ilm oli ilus ja palav. Kogu sõit oli püsti peal sprintimine, rattavalik oli vaba, kuid päris raputaval munakivil, oli minu xco ratas parim valik.
Vahva väike üritus, mis loodan, et jätkab ja kasvab aastatega osalejate arvu suhtes.





First time event, if in Coimbra I have raced down the hill in the city, then now it was time to race up the hill. The event was worth to try for its nice prize money fond. Cobble stone hill with 260m which I managed to ride with 58 seconds, although it seemed like 3 minutes ;D especially the last straight where there were quite a lot of people cheering all seconds seemed to go slow mow. Of course this kind of short explosion required a good warm up, day was nice and hot. All race was up the saddle sprinting, the bicycle choice was free, but on the pumpy cobble stones the xco bike was a perfect choice.
A nice small event, which I hope in time grows with its participation rate.
