Today was a warm day, but comfortable. In the 80's with the usual winds from the North-West. I went riding with Peggy today, so half of the ride was real modest pace. It wasn't till the last half of the ride where I was able to put in a good effort. I didn't burn any matches on the way out, so I had a lot left for the return trip. While Peggy was riding on the return leg, I went ahead and climbed the Banducci wall, then turned around to meet with her while she was on the way back on Highline. It worked out perfectly. Just as I was going up Highline, on the 1 mile kicker, I met up with her. For the remainder of the ride, it was mostly fun and games. Ailments were non-existent. Concentration was focused primarily on the enjoyment of the ride. But the parts that I put in a good effort, my concentration was in the zone. Balance was ok. Better in the last half of the ride after I was sufficiently warmed up. Gear is working great. Other notes... We stopped to pet the donkey in the mini-field on OTR. I saw a glider being towed by a tow plane. They must have got a good view of us from up there.
