I got it this time and it is all on Strava. I started with Paris, since it has a lead in about 3 km or so to the start line. Next was Watopia since it takes good speed to get the actual orange jersey. Next, Innsbruck as I had an hour to get to the start in Crit City. Orange. Crit City, quit and time trialed to another jersey. I had to push on Yorkshire since it too was on the daily worlds. finally, New York, then a planned break.
Rested, showered, and dry bibs, onto London. I felt so refreshed that I went too hard. Thus, when I got to the start of a Bologna race, I felt a bit tired. I was slow on the flat but got some power back up for the climb. Finished the course but missed out on the orange jersey. Richmond was the ninth of all the courses. I hoped to take it a bit slower then finish hard on the climbs. I didn't have too much power on the climbs but took the orange jersey, my eighth of the day.
How long did the courses take? 3 hours 19 minutes 56.37 seconds (with photos taken of every timed finish.) No drafting just long endurance power (at least what I could muster). So the challenge is up and running now. Are you up to it?
