It was a bit hotter today. I felt it immediately in the legs. I was sluggish for most of the ride. I tried to put it out of my mind and concentrated on other aspects such as stretching and balance and form. I just didn't get that warmed up feeling when I reached the end of OTR. Banducci wasn't so bad. So, perhaps I felt a bit better as the ride progressed, but not by much. The downhill was blast. I stayed in my tuck at the bottom right hander. I made it to the SS tunnel in about 1:05ish. So, I knew I was doing bad time. The return trip was somewhat pleasant. Mostly a tail or cross-tail wind all the way to the last climb. I made it to boss hogs in about 1:25ish. After that it was the last climb. I think I felt a bit better here than on OTR. I brought a 3rd bottle, so I finished what I had left and then took a few good gulps of the 3rd bottle. After that, it was fun and games. Concentration was very good, despite the fact that I was feeling sluggish. Ailments consisted of some mild back soreness, some right hand numbness. General fatigue. Balance and form felt good. Gear is working perfect. The Gopro did not stop for the duration of the ride.
