Apidura parallels24 challenge fail!
My plan: "I was to reach 320 350km by carrying 6 water bottles and complete the ride with very few breaks. 4 of them were on the bike and 2 of them were on my back. I put the armbands on at the beginning because it would be cold in the evening. I tucked my knee pads into my socks. I also put on my razor and opened my front. I tucked it behind me at the bottom opening. Because the zipper was attached from the top. The aim was to take the necessary precautions without stopping. In the following hours, it was important to strengthen the body resistance and the clothing.
Anatolian lands had a hard time with the heat. I rode at 36° for a long time. Complete misery with my arms and face burned 😃 Sometimes I can't explain the relief I feel when the sun goes behind the cloud. Anyway😃
😃 When I reached 240km, I took a 1 minute break and filled my water from the side of the road. It was a good amount of time for 4 canteens. A little later, the tire burst. Iron is in. I struggled to remove and make 21min. I was still able to reach the goal in time. Then the long rough roads started. Of course, this disrupted the tempo and comfort quite a bit. This by-way was pretty quiet and traffic-free. There were only endless mountains. As I approached Kulu, my favorite trucks and trailers appeared. This process disrupted my driving discipline. I started to lose myself. This anxiety was mentally exhausting. The easiest part of the ride remained; But I didn't want to risk it. I hope I made the right decision; because when I stop driving, my soul gets tighter... Experiencing this dilemma makes me very tired.
It's been two years, I can't reach Konya 😃
