Nuovo percorso bici - colline reggiane

Pensiamo già al dopo.
Questo è un percorso bici che mi voglio togliere lo sfizio di fare.

Percorso Bici 70.3 Rapperswil

Oggi sono particolarmente preso dal percorso in bici di domenica.
Come sarà, troppo duro ? Forse la tattica migliore sarà quella di trattenersi un pò nel primo giro per poi esprimersi al meglio nel secondo.
Questa apparentemente una buona descrizione del percorso:
Hi Zippy,

Went back and looked at the Polar trace, and this is about as close as I can make it out for one lap:

9.1km rolling from transition to base of Witches Hill
+1.6km ascent 100m (Witches Hill)
+0.6km descent 40m
+8.1km 300m ascent to high point of course
+2.3km descent 130m (very fast)
+1.6km descent/ascent through village (drop 20m, climb 20m)
+5km descent 120m
+1.3km ascent 45m
+4.6km descent 120m (back over same ridge as Witches Hill)
+9km rolling from base of Witches Hill back to transition

So, there's Witches Hill 100m in 1600m, and the bigger hill 300m in 8100m. Feels like one short and sharp, one long and grinding (there's a lovely fountain in a church courtyard just before you get to the top, great stop for bottle filling. Probably not on race day though )

I'm not sure how accruate the Polar HRM's altimeter is - it seems pretty good to within about 10-20m when I've been using it before, and for relative heights I'd expect it to be OK. Also, my distance came out to about 43.2km, not the full 45km - I think the difference is at either end on the "rolling terrain". There's a load of roundabouts coming out of the arena, and I'm not sure I got the sequence 100% right.

Weather here is pretty awful at the mo, so I won't be doing it this weekend but I'll try and get out on it again in the next 10 days or so and do it again.



e questa la geografia nel dettaglio:
