The weather is great today. Winds from the South East. I wore my arm and knee warmers + cap. The legs were a bit heavy to start. But, I had the feeling that they would feel better by the time I reached the top of the descent. I made it to the top of the descent in good time. The downhill was tons of fun. Reaching over 43 MPH at the bottom of the loop. I made my way to the base and headed back. No stopping to take off clothes. I had a headwind on the way back. So, I prepared myself for that. I kept the tempo nice and steady. The mountains and trees provided some shelter from the wind. The landmarks went quick. Before I knew it, I was passing the Loop Monument. I continued the steady tempo. No red-lining it. The legs were feeling good. I found my sweet spot. I had my music going, and that helped. I reached the summit in about 1:05 hours. From there, it was mostly relaxing to the bottom of Weston and then back up the hill. Concentration was good, for the most part. I was having to coach myself every so often. It helped keep my focus. Gear worked great. The GoPro had about 17% battery charge remaining, when I got back. My front wheel is still out of commission. Pending a repair. Hopefully sooner than later. Balance and form was good. Other notes, I saw some burning compost on the side of the hill as I was descending. No clue what it was. No other riders out, today.
