『阿彬,你那邊還有多的Power Bar嗎?』
當我在後方看到K2剛把吃過的Bar塞回車衣口袋後,這麼問道。
『沒有了耶....』
喔~天吶,我必須再次咒罵自己的健忘竟然忘了攜帶補給品。
『但我還有一包GEL,你要嗎?』
過了半响,K2似乎想到了僅存的補給品。
『好,先給我,回去我再還你...』
我喜出望外地好似溺水者看到了救生圈一般,趕緊接過。

一切回到am5:20,匆忙之間將安全帽,
以及裝了bar、gel、數位相機的腰包,都放在家門玄關上,
只顧著揹上裝有車衣、車褲的背包,快樂騎往集合地點,
搭迢哥的大車,前往嘉義的吳鳳廟。

甫抵達三級古蹟=吳鳳廟,又稱阿里山忠王祠,
旁邊是中華民俗村,時間尚早連攤販都還沒出來擺攤。
清晨的嘉義,天空灰濛濛的不見陽光,不禁擔心山上會下雨....
昆陽說,氣象預測嘉義不下雨,才稍稍穩定了大家不安的情緒,
今天來了11個人,新竹9個南下,K2、小俐分別從彰化、白河趕過來一起騎車,
換裝時,我才發現今天忘了攜帶相機、補給品、安全帽,
心下暗道:『不妙...都沒帶到,今天是打算邊騎邊拍照的咧!~』
康哥得知,塞了台較大機型的相機,給我揹上去,我才稍微產生些熟悉感。

灰狼戲謔今天大家來押注,看eMA的M25組,誰才是今天的登山王。
有人押M25的常勝軍-K2;有人押近幾場表現出色的昆陽;
我則押注Chiamin,因為上週他在85山的表現實在太令我印象深刻了...
當時一開始他並沒有咬上YR與我的時機點,結果在終點只輸1分鐘給YR,
讓我對他爬坡屬性的純粹,愈加尊敬。

從吳鳳廟→觸口村為適合暖身的平路地形,
3公里後,先加速逃開100M外,先來張大家集團前進的照片吧!?
等等可要開始爬坡了,此景待會就會不同了~~

發現隊長迢哥失蹤了,5公里處大夥兒下來,才得知因為爆胎所以趕忙換胎,
灰狼先帶著lulu、小俐先行上去;避免在寒冷的山上花了更多的時間等待。
半小時後迢哥趕了上來,才開始今天的阿里山探勘行程。

進入觸口後,大大小小絡繹不絕遊覽車、小客車佔據了1/2車道,
我們必須繞到對向車道,經過停車場後才告別壅塞。
一開始的緩坡,由康哥負責當火車頭前行,康哥這幾場拿了幾次的M45一哥,
爬坡很有信心,大家也都不太敢造次。
9公里後,身體熱了開來.....逐漸想開出去,
可能是習慣一個人晨騎,不太適應跟在別人節奏中,
因此利用幾個小緩坡,齒比加重就出去了。

盡情享受自己的節奏感,是很快樂的享受;
但只要開始心跳加速、頻頻滴汗時,就成了心理壓力。
額頭的汗水不斷滑到鼻尖、再滴落在車手時,我開始回頭張望後方,
果然第一波的加速,讓集團塑了身。
好個康哥,果然有分組一哥的氣勢加持,
他帶著3人集團(chiamin、k2、昆陽)始終咬在不遠的後方。
好景不常,約14Km終於還是被追上了;但他們始終黏在後面,成了5人集團。
讓我逃也逃不開、想退也無路;只好硬著頭皮繼續ㄍ一ㄥ...
汗水還是拼命『噴』,我的腦袋只有一個念頭:『你們什麼時候要輪上來啊?』
約15Km,終於左後方有了動靜,chiamin帶著K2做了一小波的速度提升、
康哥讓出2台車的距離、昆陽看來率先爆缸了。

趁著康哥依然維持著後勁,趕緊黏了上去;
我還得多多借重康哥的尾勁,才有辦法不提早買單出場,
但這個想法不多久在17k時,就打消了念頭....前面2人已經愈來愈遠了。
很長的一段時間,康哥與我幾乎患難與共,互輪扶持。
瀨頭(海拔約1200M/27K)→石卓(海拔約1400M/42K)的高地丘陵地形,
我們只能互相勉勵:『咦...前方好像有人喔?...』
以為追上了前面2人,但往往都證實,只是看錯了。

終於還是在石卓後段的幾個起伏,利用賣菜車的破風阻,追到了K2.
但並沒有看到chiamin,看來他已經逃遠了。
不過K2看來並沒有太多疲倦,應該只是想踩穩自己節奏,
那麼3人合作,或許還是有些機會能夠追上chiamin.
K2列車猶如復興號突然變身自強號,平均速度高了1、2Km.
然而此時康哥似乎出現了撞牆的情況,列車長頻頻返頭觀望,或許希望康哥能夠跟上;
幾次後,列車長停止了回頭查看的動作,我猜是康哥已經落隊了....

2小時後肚子餓了,我像難民一樣將K2僅存的一包gel要了過來省著點吃...
估計還有1小時的爬坡要撐,幸好我還剩1/3罐的奶水,沒魚蝦也好加減用吧~~
十字路後,終於單調的遠方山景,芝麻般微小的人影出現在對面山坳的道路上,
這次換我跟K2互相勉勵:『咦...前方好像有人喔?..』、『搞不好chiamin爆掉了...』
這大概是刺激速度的唯一誘因了。

當前方的小黑點,愈來愈清晰;
K2說那應該不是chiamin....
對耶,好像是提早一步出發的灰狼,後方跟了位中南部的車友,
我們經過時,他跟K2招呼2句,看來應該也是常常在比公路賽的熟面孔?!
我們倆輪了幾次,不知什麼時候開始,我在前面的時間愈來愈長,
倆個人都已經開始疲憊了...
Power Gel也讓我吸到明明已經沒了,還在拼命用手擠...
只希望擠出個2滴,也會是很大的滿足。

群山聳立的景象,逐漸模糊,取而代之的則是漸起的濃霧,
過了『海拔1800M  溫帶林/暖帶林』的招牌後,
看了看里程,已經56Km只剩一股單純的毅力,回頭跟K2再次互相打氣:
『剩4Km了,加油快到了...』我只是憑印象中,在吳鳳廟看到的路牌60Km來預估。
『還有海拔400M耶..』K2低頭看了Polar的高度資訊,預報未來的爬升坡度。
好吧,那就繼續撐吧~~我再問了:『等會兒上山後,你想吃什麼?
熱呼呼的貢丸湯?還是...什麼?』
K2很簡單的說:『拜託!不要再說了,我的肚子要開始餓了..』

濃霧愈來愈大,看著脛骨上的腿毛,沾滿了白霜般的露珠,
氣溫也逐漸下降,來到了59.x公里處,幕然發現個路牌【阿里山,剩3.3Km】
倆個人馬上像是洩氣的皮球,心防馬上潰堤~短短的3.3Km卻是如此巨大的遙遠,
最後2公里,我們的距離因為濃霧,也開始變得遙遠,
天地之間靜悄悄的,彷彿只剩我一個人在騎車,放眼所及只剩地面的車道線。
登時好想睡覺,我知道身體的血醣已經偏低,嘗試搖搖頭提神一番,
但效果並不好。

睡了幾秒,再次睜眼,害怕跌進水溝裡。
沉淪2、3回,隱約有個聲音,快點騎完不然應該撐不久了...
終於看到濃霧中的告示牌【阿里山/塔塔加】,
心知終於結束了,振奮地倒下單車,
好好輕鬆拍個千辛萬苦之後的濃霧阿里山路標吧~~

收票亭口,跟管理人員費了一番唇舌,
才願意讓我們進去喝個熱湯,但必須得抵押手機(因為我們沒帶證件),
毫不猶豫的先點了熱呼呼的湯麵、滷肉飯祭祭五臟廟,

(↑相互躺靠的車子,彷彿象徵著主人們疲憊的身心)
待大部分隊員,陸陸續續抵達飽食之後,才心滿意足下山。
但仍有4位隊員尚未抵達,見濃霧已經愈來愈誇張、氣溫也降低起來,
為了避免更晚可能更多危險,大家一個接一個不敢離太遠,
一路縱隊下山,並且沿路收人。

lulu、小洪也在我們剛開始下山的3、500公尺抵達,
張羅一下小零食果腹,並換上瑞麟大哥背上來的外套;瑞麟大哥則繼續上攻塔塔加。
霧很大,只要距離20公尺,前方背影都會變的模糊,
灰狼很有經驗的請視力佳的康哥,負責前方開道;
再遇迢哥,他堅持完成之下,判斷他也是很有經驗的老鳥了,因此並不擔心;
不多久再收最後一位小俐,大家很堅持一定要她跟著下山,避免可能的危機。

下滑至海拔1800M以下時,柳暗花明濃霧漸散,
大夥兒緊繃的情緒,在十字路稍微舒緩,
尚未進食的隊友們,利用這個點買些吃的、喝的;
順便等迢哥下來,再一起會合下山。

下山的險,是因為太多大巴士的慢速,而導致的緩慢車流,
如今回想起,超了好幾群的大巴車流,仍然冷汗直流;
山壁在右邊、山谷在左邊。
每每利用右彎時超越大巴,總是讓我膽戰心驚,
視線的死角,我滑在中線的位置,必須要集中所有的注意力,
以防一個閃失,對向衝出台大車,那可就成了人肉三明治了,
說實在的我的行為絕對是不聰明、也不可取的。
如果說上山是累;那麼下山可說是險;
如果說上山是天堂級的練車路線;那麼下山可說是地獄級的煎熬。

(↑觸口村知名的景點:天長地久橋,旁邊的馬路的下山車潮,真是絡繹不絕啊....)
回到山下,我感覺回到原來的世界,還是有它可愛的一面,至少不必提心吊膽。

阿里山的洗禮,讓我初嚐單車爬大山的震撼。

  • 小岡﹐
    真不錯﹐可以看看臺灣的爬坡路線﹐現在照片看來還很寬敞﹐唉﹐若不
    是競賽就沒交通管制車多蠻遺憾的是吧﹖
    看到往上直直爬去的坡很有壓力耶﹖等下會出現蜿蜒的彎道吧﹖

    量避奶質品避免消化不良耶﹖難道台灣人胃消化能力比較強﹖

  • 很驚訝chiamin才買公路車3個月,總里程數才2000多公里,就有如此驚人的爬坡
    實力,讓我深深的認為他像阿姆斯壯一樣天賦異秉,有著驚人的心肺耐力。

  • 小岡:
    其實跟大家比起來我是正常的
    佳民不是有幾年登山車的底了嗎?
    晨騎可以騎到宜蘭土場
    馬拉"兄"也有罵到他(頭殼壞掉)
    看他實力奪牌是早晚的事

    阿義大哥:
    我的POWER GEL 再226一役全吃自己的(不信任大會)
    但還剩一些
    結果在寄物時肉包子打狗一去無回
    如果可以的話
    幫忙一下...一盒
    託給小岡
    謝謝!

  • 迢哥,小岡:

    其實我只是體重輕(自從騎車後減了3kg)加上車子輕,所以騎起來自然比較輕快
    你們不知道小岡一開始都重採,配上他的重車,中間才慢下來了
    若我們的車子對掉,那在後面追趕的人就是我啦!!
    話說哪天迢哥體重減掉20kg也一定會把我甩再後頭的
    現在距離阿里山比賽還有三個多星期,
    想練習的話大家約一約,在前有敵人後有追兵的狀況下
    應該會練的比較起勁

  • Shiao !

    Sorry for late reply in your previous post... eh eh eh
    Anyway.. according to my best rec in 21km (1h23) it is good
    base for reach 3h00 or less, but telling the truth I always
    use marathon as training for ironman or for fun in visiting
    new nice city.. anyway in Taipei I do not know if I will be
    able to break my PR for 2 main reason
    - I arrive in Taipei on 14 dec and maybe I will suffer for jet-
    lag on 17...
    - I'm quite tired after a long hard season of races (till now
    30 competition in tria-dua-marathon-ironman-bike races-...)
    and I'm not very serious in training this period.. eh eh eh

  • About the Taiwan ironman race-course it seems to be
    interesting, rolling but not really hard in climb. Anyway wind
    can really make it much harder and also I do not know real
    profile of each climb and this is an important factor. If you
    can pedal easily with a 39x17 or pushing with a 39x21 it is
    much different for your leg and for marathon !
    In Elbaman the profile is more hard for sure, total of about
    2750m. You can see the profile here, but this profile is
    not "real" cause it is home-made by me and you can not see a
    lot of rolling part where it is signed as "flat".
    It is a 3lap circuit on this road:
    http://nuke.elbaman.it/Portals/0/images/profilebike.jpg

    Anyway on our website (I'm the websmaster) www.elbaman.it I
    will make a right profile in the near future

    I hope it is ok for you...
    I really hope to meet some of you guys in Tpe in December and
    I feel really sorry I can not take my bike, cause I really
    would like to have some long relaxing tour with you (I noticed
    that you also stop sometimes and eat.. it's funny and
    relaxing ! I always do alone tour and always push in
    training...)

    have a nice day and hear soon !!

  • Buddy Marco,
    Don't you think that you've made you 30 competitions in less
    than a year appears to push youself too much? What a huge
    tour expenditure it may take to travel all around to compete!
    (evne if your physical condition endorses it this way!)

  • Narciso !

    eh eh eh I love to compete all the year, I love to wear a
    number every weekend.. it's my passion !
    I know that most of ppl can't understand me cause, it's true,
    I can't have a perfect fit for all the year, but I do not
    care, I love to compete.
    Also I'm quite fast in recovering. After a olypic triathlon 1
    day, after a marathon 3-4 days where I swim and bike. After an
    ironman 7-8 days maximum.

    I also usually divide my season according to weather.

    nov-feb : compete only in half-full marathon (4-6 races)
    March : begin with duathlon and some medium distance bike race
    april-june : tria olympic - long distance bike race - half
    ironman
    july : ironman
    august : vacation on high mountain (usually Switzerland at
    1800-1900m) for recover and train, end of month 1-2 races tria
    sept : tria-tria-tria !!
    oct : tria and half mar

  • About money... yes can be expansive sometimes, but I 90%
    consider race that I can reach on easly sunday morning.
    Also in Italy fees are not really high compared to other
    european races (olypic about 25euro, bike race 25-35, marathon
    30-50, half-mar 15-20)
    I like anyway to schedule some vacation-race weekend 4-5
    times/year in places where both me and my wife Amanda loves to
    go.
    And finally... life is only one.. one life one chance.. I will
    not go in Paradise with money but with heart full of love for
    my family and good experiences in knowing fantastic ppl !!!

    (also consider that racing is the best training you can do,
    always)

  • Marco
    you are one of the very few ppl I met that can
    be categorized as FANTASTIC sporty guy.
    I bet once the number bib is put on, you and
    Shiao-Gun alike, just can't help but get excited.

    Amanda is a good wife who loves to keep you
    company and take snapshots for you in most events;
    unlike my wife, she'd rather be a couch potato with
    a TV remote in hand all day than go out for biking
    with me.

    You are just so lucky. I am so jealous
    Can Amanda have a talk with my wife?

  • Narciso 於 October 27, 2006 12:06 AM 回應 | 來源: 61.216.171.24 | |
  • Narciso... eh eh eh the image of your wife is quite funny...
    anyway of course, I think Amanda can talk with her... but
    omotion of living outside in contact with nature and doing
    sport is something that needs to raise inside your soul, no
    push from outside.
    95% of ppl outside of sport are like the description of your
    wife and 95% of my collegues at office laugh at me and tell me
    many times "why doing so effort and be so tired and never win
    an ironman?" or "why do not use your energy in doing some
    manual work and earn money instead of waste time and money in
    sport ?"
    I can only be sad for them, they do not know what they
    loose... I know perfectly what I loose.. some idiot TV
    program !!
