stats
From the time of data storage in strava since 2017. The data from the late 80s to the 00s with races and tours beyond 300km or Alpine crossings have unfortunately disappeared somewhere, sometime, with the respective Ciclomaster bike computers and an Access database 😞 So just my midlife cyclist stats...

An epidemic year, but still above the
previous year's volumes until mid-September, then abruptly
slowed down by my first fall since I don't know when, with
serious consequences for my right knee.

For the first time since 1999, back on my
race bike in the south of France and the realization that I was
much fitter and lighter back then and that, as a midlife
cyclist, I am a rouleur now... 😉😎

It was the first time in years that I had
ridden a race bike alone for several days in a row and started
data collection on strava. Let's call it the year of the new
start, even if I didn't really get much out of it in the
end.
