Cycling: Lugano to Chiasso



This morning I rode to Chiasso (on the border with Italy) and back. There were lots of cyclists out again today, including large groups (on the order of 15-25), small groups (twos and threes), and individuals.

My pace felt good. I drafted another rider on the southbound for a few miles, but couldn't stay with him after that (and there was no sign he wanted to trade pulls). I was passed by multiple groups, but also passed a small group on an uphill on the way home, and shortly after that found a rider taking a draft from me. After a good long pull, I pulled left to let him by, intending to grab his wheel and trade pulls, but he accelerated and I was too spent to chase.

I feel good.
