Dress rehearsal for the upcoming Cottonwood and BAK rides. It's been a while since I rode this far or this long, but I made it, in reasonable time and with no incidents. It was a nice, quiet Sunday, not much traffic, sunny and a near steady 78°F temperature. The wind was just a bit brisker than the weatherman predicted, at 8-9 mph, fluctuating between SSE and SSW. I can't complain (but sometimes I still do). The legs hurt more than they should, but this is a demanding course. I carefully unloaded the old saddle bag, checked the contents, then reloaded into the new bag. It looks like the old one can actually be fixed - I found a dropped screw and inner fitting. I also added some friction tape to the Fly6 camera mount. Not a perfect fix for its loose mounting but better. Ate 2 Clif and 2 Gu gels, a stroopwafel and a big bottle on Nuun mix.
