I botched the timer. I stopped the timer or some reason while in SS. I was distracted. Fortunately, I caught it in time. I was able to capture most of the last half of the ride. Nevertheless, I felt pretty good. I was with Peggy. The weather was ideal, in the upper 70's / low 80's, winds from the North West. My legs felt a bit heavy to start. I was doing better after making it to the top of OTR. I didn't bother checking the time as it was irrelevant. The Banducci Wall had some traffic mitigation, otherwise, I was doing out of the saddle efforts most of the time. From there, after regrouping we made our way to the summit. After reaching the summit, we regrouped and pulled over to recover. We took selfies and then headed down the mountain. We cruised through the farmlands and made our way to SS. We regrouped at the top of the rear entrance to SS. I put in a good sprint on the downhill, nearing 40 MPH in the tuck. We stopped at the local park to BIO and then into town. We stopped at the local Mini Mart to buy some water. We filled our bottles. I put some powder drink into mine. The return was at a relaxing pace. I was able to put in a good effort on the last climb. After reaching the summit, I pulled over to feed a Clif Bar. By the time I was done, Peggy made her way to where I was. Shortly after, we got back on the road and to Route 202. Route 202 had a bunch of traffic mitigation, but it was safe. Descending off OTR was fun and games. We headed up Mariposa and back home. I shut it down at the top of Weston.

Concentration and form was good. I had stuff to think about, and the company helped. Balance and form was good. Ailments were minimal. My hands got sore as usual. Nutrition was good. I had a bowl of oatmeal and half a banana before departing. Gear worked flawlessly. Other notes, we saw a cyclist today. I think there were some E-cyclists at the mini-mart.
