1020 s.l.m.

And I won't go any farther.

I got on top of the highest point reachable by bicycle in the nearby hills, this morning. The last hundreds of meters have been sufficiently steep and painful to let me think about turning the handlebar and going downhill on the same road I just climbed. But I was firm with myself and insisted, even stopping once to breathe in a silence so deep to ear my heart beating hard inside, till I reached the bent where the road flattens and you can feel your legs rolling free.
