it's not gonna be a joke...

eventually they (HKCA) decided to spit out the details about Sunday's race: it is going to be 120km , 8 laps of the hilly Bride's Pool circuit.



it is going to be a carnage...

• there is not a single meter of flat, 
• the distance is 400% more than the usual distance of local race...
• the field is a strange mix of full time Pros racing full time for the National Team and amateur and master riders of all ages...

It is obvious that it is already set from the start to protect the current roster of the National squad: they compete in international races of 150/200km and a local amateur used to race 40/50km at most is not going to have any chance to make into the top 5 and gain a place in the Team...

me..., I will probably only last 3-4 laps and then crawl to the finish or DNF... 120km is double the distance of my any recent ride...
