Today's weather was great. Nice and cool, albeit the winds from the south. My legs were a bit heavy in the first 10 minutes. Must have been the squats that I did the previous day. I cruised low tempo to the beginning of the descent. The descent was fun, with the tail wind. I wore knees, arms, and 1 base layer. Being that the wind was from the south, I put it on moderate tempo for almost the entire climb. I didn't have any ailments and my legs felt better as I went along. My concentration was good, most of the time thinking about how I want to does the effort going into the headwind and going from exposed to sheltered areas. Balance was good. Ailments were none, just the usual exhaustion from the effort. The cool air helped a bit to keep the engine warm. The gear is working great, no issues there.
