It's hot. Not exactly 90's, but pretty darn close. Hardly a cloud in the sky, contrary to the prediction. The legs were a bit heavy to start, and the heat didn't help things. We took it easy, going up OTR. The ride was stop, go, stop, go, etc. Somewhat exhausting for me. Suffice it to say I got a good workout in. I think my prediction that it would take 2:20 to 2:30 hrs was right on. It was the non-moving time that I wasn't sure of. I think the only part that I put in a dig was Banducci. From that point on, I held back a bit. We stopped a few times for bio's and photos. We stopped at the mini-mart in SS to buy drinks. From there it was the tailwind back to home. Traffic was unusually busy today. We had our lights, so it was relatively safe. Router 202 had just a few cars and was more safe than the previous time. Concentration was good. With company and a few things to think about, I was sufficiently occupied in the mind. Balance and form felt good. Ailments, next to none. Gear is working well. Other notes, no other cyclists today.
