It's cold, but rideable weather. I wore the complete winter kit. It kept me sufficiently warm. I decided on the Alpine Forest today. I have to get used to the winter kit. I made it to the end of OTR in good average time. The climb up Banudcci had some traffic mitigation, otherwise went as usual. The Alpine Forest felt much better. I was near max over the top, but I had some matches left in the pocket. I made it to the summit of Banducci and pulled over for a few moments. I fed a Clif Bar, hydrated and let the traffic by before heading back down the mountain. There was some traffic mitigation, so there were a few moments of tension. I made it down the Banducci Wall without danger. After making it down OTR, I headed up Mariposa then back home. I shut it down at the top of Weston. Concentration was so so. Not great, not too bad though. There were some hints of gremlins out there today. Suffice it to say, I was having to make adjustments. Gear worked perfect. Nutrition was good. I had about half my Gatorade and some water to go with my Clif Bar. Ailments, some numbness in the hands and palms. The full finger gloves doesn't provide the cushioning that my normal gloves do. My stomach was a bit sour to start, but got better as the ride progressed. Balance and form was good. Other notes, no other cyclists today.
