Hard characters

A two-week stay in Spain ends. On Wednesday, the team will come to Poznan. Unfortunately, the 1500 km plan won’t be executed. Since yesterday, weather conditions do not allow our cyclists for long workouts. Today, they were surprised by the hail and a sharp drop in temperature from 18 to 4 degrees. The sky in one moment was covered with clouds, then it started to rain and hail. Only 30 km to the hotel, but it is a big challenge in such weather conditions. It required from our riders not only a lot of physical but also mental effort. I can only imagine what they felt, driving at a speed of 60 km/h, in soaked clothes and a temperature of 4 degrees. I must say that the cycling club should not refuse assistance in this situation. The three cyclists were forced to return to the hotel alone after the club's head didn’t respond to their requests. I think that it was extremely irresponsible, because they were exposed  to  health- related problems but also to the risk of an accident due to the slippery surface of the road.

  1. Being a sportsman have one particular disadvantage, you always have to deal with the weather conditions. On the other hand you have to be strong till the end, where the feeling of accomplishment will pay it all :)
