It got a bit colder. I looked at my smartphone before leaving. It said 52 degrees. I dressed appropriately. Wearing arms, knees, cap, 2 socks, and short fingered gloves. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. The skies are clear. When I got out, headed down the street, I started to feel the bite of the cold air. I wasn't sure what to expect. I was glad that I brought my cap. I also wore a thick base-layer. I made my way up to the summit of WTR. It was cold, but I wore just enough to keep me warm. I made it to the top of the descent in good time. The descent was mostly coasting/soft-pedaling. I put in two good digs over the risers. Pushing 400+ Watts. Doing the push/pull technique. The thighs were burning after cresting the risers. I made my way down and headed back. I put my GPS in the non-overall time mode. I didn't want to worry about the time I was putting in. I went by the landmarks as usual. I kept the tempo within my limits. No gasping or red-lining. No digs over the summit. Concentration was good. (No gremlins worth mentioning). Balance and form felt good. Ailments, next to none. Gear is working great. Other notes, no one at the Loop Monument and no cyclists today.

Edit: The legs felt a bit better today than the previous ride.
