It's on the warm side, but not too bad. It was around 80 degrees when I got out. Winds from the North West. I wore the standard summer kit. The legs felt ok to start. I made it to the summit of OTR in good average time. The Banducci Wall had some traffic mitigation. I was near max going over the top. The remainder was mostly moderate tempo while mitigating traffic. After reaching the summit, I pulled over to recover. I let traffic by and then headed down the mountain. It was safe with no traffic from behind. The trek through the farmlands was mostly moderate tempo, no heroics. I made my way around the backside and then the descent into town. I put in a good sprint on the downhill, reaching near42 MPH in the tuck. I stopped at the local park for a bio break. I made it passed the tunnel in about 1:08 hours. I stopped at the local mini mart to mix a sport drink. I got back on the road and headed home. The trek through the farmlands was steady tempo. They repaved part of Pellesier, but it's still bumpy. The smoothest part is in the middle. I passed Boss Hogs in about 1:32 hours. So, I gave up only 4 minutes on the return. I had a tailwind at this point. The last climb went quick. I stopped at the summit to feed a Clif Bar. Shortly after, I got back on the road and headed to Route 202. Route 202 had some traffic from behind, so I let them by as best I could. The wind turned 180, so I had a headwind going into the left turn lane. Descending off OTR was mostly fun and games. I pushed over Mariposa and then the grind to the top of Weston where I shut it down.

Concentration was good. I had stuff to think about. Morale felt good. Balance and form was good. Nutrition was good. I had a bowl of oatmeal, half a banana and some grapes before departing. I fed a Clif Bar with some water. I went through one and a half bottles of sport drink. I got a sore throat and I think the bottles were not cleaned properly. Ailments were minimal. Mostly hand soreness and the sensation of fatigue. Gear worked perfectly. Other notes, no cyclists. I saw a casual e-cyclist and a familiar walker.
