June in Tatra Mountains

Tatra Road Race version amateur

Waking up at 4:00 and driving to the mountains - "what the determination the person has " - say 'sofa people'..without offense, please.

We arrived to Białka Tatrzańska at 7:30 and started to ride at 9. I havent known what I could expected but of course.. nothing easy with the guys.

We started in Zakopane and after 2 km we started to climb up... with bike. I asked guys what is a plan for today and they said: " route of Tatra road race so 60 km and +1400"

This morning was cloudy and I was waiting when storm began.

The lanscapes were amazing - "Tatras and their picante hills"
















Small villages without any shop any bar.. typical polish 'noturistic' places..

At 12:00 the sun woke up and brang burning flames. We were not ready for this weather change.
but as they said "in the mountains everything can change very fast"

so sun, no sugar and 17% 🔼- vertical parts

When my friend said "ohh still some hills like 8 or 9.." I didnt know what to answer...
I had no more place to leave my clothes and i felt as my body is boling.


On 50 km I was exhausted even 2 milkeways (chocolate bars) couldnt fill my lack of energy. the more.. clouds were back and raining started. As if that wasnt enough the storm came and hill appeared before my eyes ..."damn it"..  I met my personal crisis and talk to him to go away and it did.



Mountains.. you never know...


My body suffered and fever came but c`est la vie.

|In aequa lance" beacause I was able to
- train my body
- live the moment and small gifts which nature brings to us
- touch the sheep and be happy by doing it
- survive all weather cases
- see the mountains
- feel the hills
- control the speed and myself when going down




Sport is cool!
