It's cold, but rideable. I chose the Alpine Forest over Keene since the wind was from the North West. The legs felt good to start. I took it easy going up OTR. Made it to the end in average time. The Banducci Wall had some traffic mitigation, otherwise went without a hitch. The Alpine Forest climb went quick. I was busy thinking about a few things and that made the miles go quick. I made my way around the backside and to the summit of Banducci. I took a few moments rest when I got there, checked the GoPro battery and then headed back down the mountain. There was some traffic mitigation on the way down, but it was safe. Descending off the Banducci Wall was fun. No traffic behind, so I was able to let the wheels go without braking. The wind was holding me back. Hardly broke 30 MPH. After reaching OTR on the return, I was able to relax and enjoy the downhill. I pushed over Mariposa and shut it down once I made it to the top of Weston. Concentration was good, minimal lapses and gremlins. I had stuff to think about and it made the miles go quick. Gear worked flawless. Nutrition was good. No hunger sings. Ailments were minimal, just some hand soreness. Balance and form was good. Other notes, no other cyclists today.
