# Long ride — 2025-02-15
Long ride with Alessandro. 98km, 1231m elevation.

## Notes
- Rode out to watch the Strade Bianche passing through the countryside. Positioned ourselves near sector 6, rode there and waited for the peloton.
- Seeing the pros on the white roads in person is incredible. The speed, the noise of tires on gravel, the dust cloud. Electrifying.
- After the race passed, we continued our ride along the now-empty sectors. Fresh tire tracks from the pros on the gravel — surreal.
- Alessandro was so hyped by the race he attacked every climb on the way home. Couldn't hold his wheel on the last two.
- Quick espresso stop in Monteroni. The bar had the race on TV — watched the final climb into Siena while catching our breath.
- 98km with the race-watching break in the middle. Effective riding time was closer to 3 hours. Fun ride, not a training ride.
