Gave everyone a head start, LOL. Rode solo*, and started and finished in daylight. The winds were up to start with, but died down in the late afternoon. Still, they took a toll; I have a gimpy right knee today with a little fluid in there. Other than my R knee, I felt pretty strong all day, all the way through the finish. The last loop, over 53 miles from the turn from US-395 onto CA-136 all the way back to the finish, I averaged 19.6 mph! *Rode the last 6+ miles to the lunch stop with Terri, who was dragging a little from her injured back. Slowed from 17.5 to 12.3 mph there (see annotations & 4th "lap from gps data") to try and shield her from the headwind some. She was back on the road and climbing Horseshoe Meadow like a trooper already as I was descending from that stop!
