Recreational #rapha500 ride to Łysy Watermill

That day was the peak activity of the orkan hurricane that decided to blow around my neighbourhood and as @daria invited me for a ride, I could not resist. Especially that we were going in a direction where I could fight for a Strava KOM if only I could go as fast as 46.0km/h. 

The destination turned to be swampy backwater reservour with an actual watermill that serves as tourist attraction. There are bridges over the water around the artificially built lake. We have circled around there by bike and then explored the area a little bit more. 

It's definetely a place worth a come back. 

Way back home was really tough as was to be expected, because the hurricane wind stubbornly refused to change direction, but I already had a plan to use it. 

As i have suspected, the KOM was not mine, because i could not push hard enough with my old fragile chain, so i switched bikes and came back with my tank bike to try my luck. 
The Tank is disadvantageous especially because it lacks gears when you have to go real fast, yet I had to pick the gamble. 
Still, was not enough, but I had rode 2km/h faster and that earned me 6th place on the leaderboards. 

Then was time to rush for appointment with bike mechanic. He have found one more fault in my Unibike and agreed to fix it right away. But the gears and the chain could not be changed that fast and it looked like i had to buy and mount the parts by myself. 
I didn't know it back then, but luckly I have managed it just before the planned leave to celebrate New Year. 

It was a long day with many short rides that brough me closer to the 500 kilometers mark for the #rapha500
