The weather has cleared up for the past 2 days. Today was a bit windy with clear skies. It was just cool enough to have to wear arms and knees with one base layer. Out the door, my legs felt pretty good. I took it easy, as usual, until I reached the end of OTR. I kept the tempo moderate as I ascended the Banducci wall and summit. No digs in that portion. Again my legs felt pretty good. The descent off of Banducci was a bit dangerous, as the wind was a bit turbulent. The winds were from the North, so I had a headwind on the way out. I continued moderate tempo until I reached the top of SS. I made a dig over the top of SS. I reached the tunnel in just over an hour, and around 1:05 exiting SS. I was able to hold fairly good tempo to Pelliser. The winds were more of a crosswind, so it was tough to push things into high tempo. My legs started to feel fatigued at this point. I felt ok going up the last climb. I stopped at the top of the CVR climb to clear my nose. My towels stayed in my pockets, thank goodness. After that, I maintained modest tempo all the way back home, no heroics, just nice and steady. I did average time 1:50. Which is good for a day like today. Now for concentration. It really never stuck today. I felt squirly eyed at times and my concentration just never lasted for over 10 minutes without lapses. I've no clue why, I felt good out of the door, but it all went south just as I was summitting Banducci. Fortunately, I was able to make it home in one piece. Days like today are the ones where mishaps occur. A little wisdom paid off. Gear is working well, no serious mishaps. A slight skip of the chain, as if a chain link didn't engage. I dropped my chain as I was exiting route 202. That was due to the fact that I was doing 35+mph and I ran over some bumpy terrain. So, no fault of the componentry. I was able to shift it back onto the inner chain ring, then outer, and continued.
