The mountains rise up almost vertically at each side of the road and your mind is thinking, with a mounting sense of trepidation, “Somewhere there’s a road which goes up those mountains and I’m supposed to ride up it!!”

Despite being on different teams Cav asks Miller for advice. On one particular climb Cav rode next to Millar and uttered “I can’t believe I am at 420 watts already, I can never hold this” – Millar pointed to his Garmin which had tape over the numbers. If you stare at those numbers you are already beaten.

for what I need a km counter? or a garmin or whatever…

I ride and enjoy the wonderful landscapes, I dont care if a climb has 7,5 or 8%, if I have done 137km or 147km. my watch is enough. if I am interested in all theses numbers, I still have google or bike maps.

;)

best regards Stefan
