Yesterday we rode another 200k. On Saturday the others rode 300 and I was sorry that I didn't ride 300 instead of 200. Not because of the distance but the weather on Saturday was fantastic (20-24 degrees) and it completely changed on Sunday. We started riding with head wind and finished the last 40 km in rain. The temperature dropped to 6 degrees! Besides that, I had a side stitch that lasted about 2 hours!!! It was incredible pain and only sticking with the group helped me get to the gas station at 130 km where we had some rest and the pain stopped. Maybe I had my breakfast only 30 min before the start and that triggered itI felt like lying in the ditch near the road but I kept riding with tears. After that I was very happy that the pain is gone and the rain wasn't an obstacle. Because of the pain and because the other 2 people from my group were very tired, we didn't ride fast, my HR was about 110-130 and had a big rest at lunch but nonetheless, the speed overall wasn't too bad, we finished in less than 10 hours.
