It was pretty brutal with a very strong wind which at one point lifted the front wheel of my bike off the road as I turned a sharp bend. The final part of the road was strewn with fist-sized rocks I had to steer round. At the top was crowd of bikers who kindly gave me a round of applause! The descent was awesome but bloody freezing to start with.I look forward to seeing Pogačar flying up it nonchalantly.
