Graveloza Bolimoza 2025 Re-Enactment Ride
I was surprised to see as many as four mates to join the ride on that cold and rainy day!
Krzysiek, or the Silent One. A way senior to me, he only rides vintage bikes. His road bike on skinny tyres was perhaps not the best suited for the ride but Krzysiek could make it!
I seem to have let down and diminished my close friend! As I knew Tommy hadn't owned proper waterproof clothes, and I doubted he could match strong riders, I hadn't invited him to the ride. Upset, Tommy bought a rainproof jacket and secretly joined the ride
I can only say he did extremely well and proved himself! No issue to invite him to advanced group rides anymore!
Marek S, or The Racer. A well trained rider with big ambitions.
Grzesiek, or The Fresh Blood. He is a close friend to Marek, a body abled rider, and a charming person!
A stop at Iceland in Skierniewice-Rawka for some warming up
The Magic Tree in Paplin, Land of Łódź.
I knew those trails by heart as I had many rides in that area, especially on Giant Trance E+ back in 2020. Once we left the village of Lisna via a cobblestone climb and got into mud Tommy bravely followed the GPS course without much thinking. I wanted to watch a map and discuss a possible detour with the men but it was too late! The Green Cycle Trail involved an overgrown path among the bushes with a very soft grass surface! After we emerged from the trail, indignant Tommy snapped at me: 'What the f*ck was that?' to which I joyfully replied: 'That's the Green Trail. Can't you see the sign?'
My mates were happy and liked the adventure. I was proud as I was leading the pack for the most of the course (sometimes I was falling behind to assist Krzysiek on some harder moments). I needed 40/80% ECO and sometimes 70/70% SPORT on my Vado 6.0. As you can see from the Elevation Gain, the route was not totally flat!
