It's a bit chillier, but not so much. About 58-ish degrees, perhaps more. Winds from the North West. I wore double arms, knees, head cap, and two base layers. In hindsight, I should have put a newspaper in my jersey, that and perhaps my face mask around my neck. Suffice it to say, I was comfortable most of the time. The legs felt good to start. I made it to the summit of OTR in good time. I made my way to the top of Highline and zipped around the Buffalo neighborhood. I hopped back onto Highline and then to OTR for the descent. I pushed over Mariposa and made my way up the Weston dig where I shut it down.

Concentration was good. I was in the zone. The morale was good going into the ride. No gremlins worth mentioning. Balance and form felt good. Ailments were minimal. I had slight back pains when I started, but it has since gotten better. Nutrition was good. I had a bowl of oatmeal, a banana and some grapes for breakfast. I drank less than half my sport drink, no water. Other notes, I saw one cyclist.
