bucket of pain (wang nam kheio III) by coldfusionPaul (136 points)

normally train for a week or so up here before trying this ride, paid the full price plus left a tip for not doing that, legs hurt something bad. making things worse, wind was fierce all the way down south especially through the mountains. wind stayed steadily from the south on way back north but that was simply overkill coming down from the mountains.

beside my legs not being ready for the mountains, my shoulder tendonitis flared up and made any movement of my right arm agony.
