Today's weather was nice and cool. In the upper 50's. Winds from the South. I was planning on going to SS, weather permitting. Well, it did not permit. I ended up skipping the SS loop and headed back on Pelliser. I felt good from the start. Took a while to get warmed up. The wind was in my face until I reached OTR. Banducci felt good as i had a tail wind most of the way. The descent was fun, but a bit dangerous. I topped out at about 42MPH. Had I let it run with a tuck, no doubt could have reached 45MPH. The return trip was mostly a chore. Digging into the wind, but maintaining a tempo I could handle. No heroics. I was happy to reach the last climb, given the shelter from the wind. From there, it was mostly moderate tempo to home. Concentration was good. I gave myself some things to think about. I had some lapses in the first 15 minutes, but I was able to reel it in and stay focused as best I could. Ailments consisted of right calf soreness, mild at that. I think it started as I was making my way through the false flat after the last climb. I was out of the saddle quite a bit as I was going into the wind. It subsided and eventually went away (as far as I can remember). Balance and form felt good. Gear is working well. Other notes, no other cyclists today.
