# Long ride — 2024-02-17
Long ride with Alessandro. 103km, 1527m elevation.

## Notes
- Took the classic Chianti loop: Siena to Greve via Panzano, then back through Castellina. Rolling terrain with a couple of serious climbs.
- Alessandro and I took turns pulling on the flats. Good drafting practice — sat at 38 km/h on the straight section before Panzano.
- The climb to Panzano from the south is always a wake-up call — 4km at 7% average. Pushed 290W, felt strong.
- Stopped at Dario Cecchini's butcher shop in Panzano for a quick panino. The porchetta one is legendary.
- Talked about our training plans for spring. Alessandro is thinking about focusing on climbing power, wants to do some structured blocks.
- Beautiful day for February — 14°C, sunny, barely any wind. Spring is coming early this year.
