I got out a little late today. The weather was absolutely perfect! I had real good legs today, right from the start. I was able to bring the pace into good tempo very early in the ride. My mind was in the zone for the most part and my body followed. I had a few lapses in concentration, but I was able to bring my focus back just as quick. I had no serious ailments today. No calf or numbing in the hands. I did, however, experience some soreness in my hips, in particular the right. The whole ride was done in strong tempo. I knew I was doing good tempo them moment I reached the top of Banducci. I reached the top of SS in under 55 minutes. And out of SS in about 1:03 hrs. I got to Boss Hogs in about 1:16ish. From that point on, just laid the hammer down, especially on the last climb. I did a good dig over the top of the last ascent, recovered, and continued the strong tempo. I stretched about 4 or 5 times. Both Legs an Back. That helped to freshen them up after hard efforts. I believe this to be one of my faster rides this year. Gear...Working flawless, no complaints. No dropped chain. But I want to diagnose it with my PC interface just to make sure. Other notes, I saw a red tail hawk, and the mini-farm had few animals, I saw only a few chickens.
