I was able to get out just before noon today. The temperature was in the upper 80's with winds from the North. I decided to do modest tempo from the get-go. I made it to the top of Banducci in about 36ish minutes. Made it to the top of SS in under an hour and through the tunnel in about one hour. I picked up the pace as exiting SS. I did good tempo from that point on. I reached Boss Hogs in about 1:20ish. I brought the tempo down on the final ascent. The wind was turbulent, so it wasn't worth putting myself into the red zone for a gain of only 1mph or so. As for ailments, I had some numbness in my right hand and a little soreness in my left calf. My back may have been sore at one point, but not a big problem. Concentration was good. Balance getting back in there day by day. Gear is working great. I did notice some strange clicking in the chain. But it was so minute, it was difficult to tell what it was. Other notes, I fed the mule today and got it on video.
