# Long ride — 2024-04-06
Long ride with Alessandro. 88km, 1305m elevation.

## Notes
- Shorter ride today — both had afternoon plans. Packed the climbing into a loop through the Chianti hills near Vagliagli and Fonterutoli.
- Pushed hard on every climb, treating it like an informal hill repeat session. 6 climbs, all between 3-6 minutes. Fun and painful.
- Alessandro brought his new Wahoo Kickr and was comparing power numbers — his FTP has gone up 15W since January.
- Quick coffee stop at the bar in Fonterutoli, right on the main road. Simple but good espresso.
- Talked about gear ratios. Alessandro is considering going 1x for his gravel bike but isn't sure about the range for road riding.
- Sunny and warm, 19°C. Arm warmers stayed in the pocket the whole ride. Bidon was empty by km 70 — need to carry more water now.
