First 50km+ ride!

Quite stressing to make a new descent with so many cars (Col du Pas d'Ouillier); and the ascent from Cassis to the top of the Col de la Gineste with front facing wind and gusts of 40+ kmh was so tough and demoralizing I thought I wouldn't make it.
Well here's one last COVID to end the year
I'm never very sick but I'm sick for a long time 😔
Small tour despite this I had difficulty finishing, more strength towards the end
It will come back, just a little patience 🤪
