First stage completed! ๐ Ana Conesa, Coordinator of LongTREC, and Doctoral Candidates Fabio Zanarello (CRG) and Nadja Nolte (NIB) have pedalled from London to Cambridge on the first day of #LongCyclingForScience, arriving happily and safely, with smiles still going strong ๐๐ดโโ๏ธ๐ดโโ๏ธ.
๐๏ธ First challenge: getting out of London
Finding the right way out of a city as big as London was the first test of the day. Once the streets were behind them, open fields and quiet country roads opened up ahead.
๐ Pace, energy and enjoyment
This is not a race. The key was to ride at a comfortable pace, save energy for the days ahead and, above all, enjoy every kilometre, taking in some stunning views along the way.
๐ Bridges, steps and teamwork
The route had its surprises, like bridges with steps where the loaded bikes had to be walked across. Nothing that good team spirit couldnโt handle!
๐ฆ A well-deserved rest in Cambridge
Arriving in the beautiful city of Cambridge called for a well-deserved break, with ice cream, of course! Before resting, the team still had the energy to enjoy the sunset.
Itโs more than just a ride: itโs about sustainability, team spirit and pushing boundaries. As they rest and recharge, the team is already looking forward to the second part of the journey. More adventures ahead! ๐ฒ
