Last weekend I cycled around Lake Balaton with a great team from WJSZ. It’s 220 km, and we did it in three days, with stops for the beach and ice cream, so it was more a holiday than a sports performance.
To be completely frank, I really didn’t feel like going the night before. I was tired and miserable and just wanted to be left alone. But thankfully, I know better than to cancel such great programs on a whim, so we took to cycling.
And I instantly felt better. I felt the true joy of riding through the nice countryside, with all of its beauties. The team turned out rather small this year, but that made it, even more, a familial experience. I couldn’t guess how much fun I would have on this trip, and I am so grateful to the whole team for making it such a good experience.
If you want to look at some pictures from the trip, here you can find my insta stories, which I used as a captain’s log during the ride.
As always, thanks for reading, and I hope to see you next time,
