Went riding with Roger today in the afternoon. Weather was in the 45-55 F. I wore 4 Layers but ended up removing my wind-breaker on the way back. I felt pretty good. Roger has improved alot, I think he lost weight. I struggled to keep up with him on certain parts, mostly on the climbs. There was a nasty head-wind on the way back so we rode in a pace-line on the difficult parts. My bike is working ok with the exception of the little clicking noise when I'm pushing hard, out of the saddle.

I can't believe I didn't mention about what happened on the way down banducci mountain. Towards the bottom of the descent, I felt something hit my neck. I knew it was a bug or something, and they usually just bounce off. This time it was a bee and it stung me in the neck. I had Roger pull the stinger out. I was worried I might get an allergic reaction, but fortunately it just left a little bump. It itches now, I'm going to see if I can put some disinfectant before I go to sleep.

Forgot to mention, my upper calf muscles were hurting on the last stretch of the ride. I had to ride a little on the conservative side to keep it in check.
