Great spring day! Nice and cool. 60's. Winds from the north west. The legs felt good from the start. Didn't take much to get warmed up. I brought my extra bag because I wore arm warmers. After reaching the end of OTR, I removed my arm warmers, curled them up with a velcro strap and put them in the bag. Worked like a charm! The wind was moderate. I held moderate tempo most of the way out. Saving a bit for the return. After reaching the turn-around point, I headed back. No stopping. I was going into a headwind most of the way. But was able to hold 15MPH+. So the return trip went fast. I was able to put in a good dig over the top. From there it was mostly fun and games, with the exception of the last kicker to Banducci and Mariposa. There was a car behind when I was descending OTR, so a bit of urgency there. In a fun way. Concentration was good. A hint of a gremlin on as I was about to reach Banducci on the way back. I just reminded myself that in 30 seconds, I would be out of the dark spot in that area. Balance and form felt good. Ailments, right hand numbness. Gear worked well. No issues. The extra bag worked great! Other notes, no other cyclists today.
