Today’s weather was interesting. Looking out the window, it looked cold. Lots of clouds in the sky, not too much sun. It was actually quite comfortable. Mild winds from the south. In the low 60’s. I wasn’t exactly sure where I was going to ride today. I knew I wanted to head out towards SS. So, I just headed out the door, towards Banducci. When I got over the wall, I was tempted to climb the Alpine Forest. I decided to just go up Banducci. I was thinking about the return trip. I was also not in the mood to put in a, too difficult ride. I needed some matches for the return into the wind without red-lining it. The climb was enjoyable, with the wind on my back. Being that the wind was mild, I was able to WOT the downhill. Reaching over 42MPH. The return through CV was more or less what I expected. I kept the tempo moderate, not pushing the pace too much. The last climb was more of the same. No real pushes. Just steady tempo. Out of the saddle when needed. After reaching the summit, I cruised the false flats. I saw some bulls and decided to pull over and take a few photos. Then, headed back. Concentration felt good. No lapses. Ailments next to none. Some quad soreness, nothing to detract from my pace. Balance and form felt good. Gear is working great. Other notes, I saw 1 other cyclist as I was ascending OTR.
