The 40km Project – Part XI (aka Total Burnout)
It is with a bit of disappointment and frustration that I present Part XI of the 40km Project. Last Sunday, I once again attempted the 40km TT in Calabogie, and once again, I came up short. And this time, instead of coming closer to my goal, I moved the wrong way–finishing the rolling 40kms in [...]
