The weather continues to be ride-able. It's in the 50's. I wasn't sure what to wear. I was tempted to just go out in shorts and arm warmers. But, I decided to wear my knee warmers, instead. Turned out to be a good decision. I was comfortable with the kt. Winds from the North West. I decided to do the entire Tour de Teh (SS,R) ride. The miles went fast. The legs felt reasonably good to start. I'm calling this the season opener. It's first ~2 hour ride that I've done this month. Since it was snowing recently, there was run-off water and salt on the road. None of which was much of a danger. I just had to keep my eyes open. Especially on Banducci, as the shoulder was not ride-able. After making the summit of Banducci, I took a few moments rest. Then headed downhill. I had to let traffic by once, while on my way down. It was before the "tuck" stretch of road. I reached 42+MPH on my way down. The wind was mild, I was doing 16MPH+ on my way to SS. Keeping my eye on traffic most of the way. The backend downhill section was a treat. Great road conditions. I made it to the tunnel in under an hour. I headed back out. In my mind, that half the ride was complete. The trip back was mostly traffic mitigation and then the trek through the farmlands. There was a traffic stop for construction, but I wasn't delayed. They let me through. I was trying to calculate my time for the Boss Hogs landmark. I knew I was about 2 minutes over. Turned out to be a good estimation. About 1.5 mins delayed. The last climb went quick. I kept the tempo steady, no heroics. I was checking my GoPro for battery remaining. I knew it was going to be close. I ended up changing out the batteries just as I was about to make the right hander on Route 202. From there, it was mostly fun and games. (Traffic mitigation on Route 202, as the shoulder was unride-able). Concentration was good. Ailments, next to none. Balance and form was good. Gear worked great. My walkman didn't play my playlist, that I had created previously. Other notes, no other cyclists today.
