Good weather today. Typical spring weather. Cool, winds from the north. I wore 1 base layer. My legs felt average in the beginning. I cruised OTR and felt much better by the time I reached route 202. The wind was somewhat of a cross-wind, so I decided to do moderate tempo on the way out to Willow Springs. The return trip was most of the same. Cross-head wind. I did very steady tempo, out of the saddle when needed. Overall I felt good, my legs were responding good. As usual, this ride is all about concentration going out to Willow Springs n Back. Especially when going into the headwind. Concentration was good for the most part, I was in the zone for the greater part of the ride. I had some lapses here and there, but I was able to reel it in. Balance was good, but altered by the cross winds. Ailments consisted of mild saddle soreness. I think my right hand may have been numb on a few occasions. Gear is working well. No problems there. Other notes, I saw a tow-plane with a glider. I think I got it on video. Will check on that later. There was 1 other rider going the opposite way as I was going to WS.
