Today's weather was pleasant (70's) and winds from the South East. I wore the standard kit with 1 base layer, arm coolers. Today was a good average day. It was difficult to gauge because the wind was opposite of normal. I ended up burning a lot of matches going into the wind in the farmlands. The enjoyable part was going up Banducci as I had a descent tailwind. The downhill was also a treat, I got up to 44MPH+. Once on the farmlands, I put it into cruise control. Just a nice steady tempo, staying within myself. I was doing no better than 18MPH. Mostly 12 to 15 MPH, as the wind was battering me around. When I reached the final climb, I knew I was going to have a partial headwind. I pushed it over the first riser, then brought the tempo down to a comfortable level. I made a modest push over the top. The false flat proved to be a welcome reprieve. I knew that I just had to get through this part and I'd be golden. Route 202 was traffic mitigation into a headwind. From there it was fun and games to Mariposa with a generous dig. Then cruise control to home. I was going to add WTR summit, but decided against it because I was sapped from the wind. Concentration was good. Some lapses, but nothing major. Balance and form felt good. Ailments consisted of right hand numbness. Gear is working great. Other notes, no other cyclists today.
