Today was a great day for a ride. I wore 1 base layer and arm warmers which I took off at the bottom of Keene. Winds from the North. I did intervals on the return Ascent. I felt real good, only minor soreness in the lower back a few times. Which didn't last more than 10-15 seconds. My calf muscle did great today, almost no hint of pain. No numbness in my hands. Today was a treat, I did good time and on the return descent, I hit over 40mph. Just really hammering the downhill. Fun Fun!! My gear worked flawless today, although I think my camera was off on the downhill, or at least part of it. I'll have to check later. There was a guy going up the mountain about 1 to 2 miles from the bottom. I was able to bridge up to him on the last mile of the ride. That's always encouraging.
