# Long ride — 2025-03-01
Long ride with Alessandro. 107km, 1366m elevation.

## Notes
- First day of March and it felt like spring. 16°C, sunny, light breeze from the south. Rode in short sleeves for the first time in four months.
- Took the route toward Greve in Chianti, then south through Panzano and back via Castellina. Rolling Chianti classics.
- Alessandro is considering signing up for a local time trial series. He's been working on his TT position on the trainer — looks fast.
- The wisteria is starting to bloom on the farmhouse walls around Panzano. Purple cascades everywhere — makes every climb scenic.
- Stopped at the alimentari in Greve for a mortadella panino and a Chinotto. Old-school Italian mid-ride nutrition.
- Power felt effortless at 210W. The winter base is translating into real fitness. Best power-to-RPE ratio in months.
