Fantastic weather today. I got out a bit later than I would have liked, but fortunately the weather was nice and comfortable. My legs were a bit heavy. Even after reaching the end of OTR. I was soft-pedaling before crossing route 202. I felt good going up the wall and over Banducci. I think I made it to the summit in about 37 minutes. So, a bit better than average. I was able to do moderate to good tempo all the way out to SS. I kept the pace nice and steady going up the SS hill and kept my pace going over the top. I reached the tunnel in about 1 hour. The winds were from the north-west. I was able to do high tempo going through the farmlands and I made it to Boss Hogs in about 1:20hrs. A solid time considering that I was crawling my way up OTR. The last leg, going up CVR was done in good tempo and I was able to keep that tempo for pretty much the rest of the ride. Ailments included right hand numbness, general soreness in the hips, probably a few other mild things. Gear is working perfectly, the bike is operating nice and smooth. Only a few noises, likely from the pedals, which I did not clean out before the ride. The wheels felt nice and lively, and when I reached the weston hill, I was able to put the power down and it didn't feel as squishy as the other wheels. Concentration was good today, I was able to maintain focus on each leg of the ride. Balance was ok, but not great. Other notes, there's a lot of garage sales going on today. There were a few signs in SS, but none of which had the time of the sales. Otherwise, I would have taken a photo and posted them on my site. I have to keep in mind that I have been doing strength training in the off days. Probably for the past 10-14 days without a day off.
