WOD - estilo Valenciana

Warmup: rent the heaviest bikes available in town. Obtain maps of mountain region and plan route ignoring elevation gain diagrams. Disregard descriptions of steep rocky cowpaths ascending canyons through brambles.

WOD: For time - complete 26km loop ascending 490m along unbikable thorny cow paths. Push, carry, drag bikes when necessary (ie all uphill sections).

Strength: shoulder work - one armed mountain bike cleans + farmers walk. Repeat as necessary to reach summit. Forearm work: use 'death grip' on handlebars on descent.

Gymnastics: remain on bike while descending rocky mediterranean terrain. Use acrobatic dismounts when called for.

Post workout: find painting crew to bring you back to town after getting a flat tire at country monastery. Eat massive amounts of pasta and paella.
