# Long ride — 2024-03-16
Solo long ride. 94km, 865m elevation.

## Notes
- Recovery ride disguised as a long ride. Kept it easy through the flat sections around Monteroni d'Arbia and Buonconvento.
- Legs were still sore from Thursday's hard session. Stayed in Z1-Z2 the whole time, never above 150 bpm.
- Spring is definitely here — wildflowers along the roadside, almond trees in bloom. Rode in just a base layer for the first time this year.
- Roads were busier than usual with weekend drivers heading to the Crete Senesi for lunch. Had to be extra careful on the narrow sections.
- Stopped at a bar in Buonconvento for a cornetto and caffè. Sat in the sun for 15 minutes just enjoying the warmth.
- 94km felt long for the legs I had today but the low intensity was what I needed. Sometimes the best rides are the easy ones.
