The Olympic track, where dreams begin – Hangzhou Qiandao Lake cycling (Part 2)
Today, let’s focus on the Olympic track.
Cycling around the lake for 140 kilometers, professional athletes can complete it in three to four hours, and amateur athletes can complete it in about nine hours (usually starting at 3:30 in the hot summer weather, completing the lake loop the next morning, and being careful of heatstroke in the afternoon if it’s too hot).
As someone like me who can’t even be considered a part-time athlete, I only rode 50 kilometers before being eliminated.
