The weather has let up and it's now ride-able, outdoors. It was about 45 degrees when I departed. I wore my full winter kit.
I was warm and comfortable for the duration of the ride. The legs felt pretty good to start. The wind was going the right way. To the South. I made it to the summit of the descent in good average time. The descent was mostly soft pedaling. I put in two digs over the risers.
I made my way down to the base and headed back, no stopping. I was considering taking off my jacket, but decided against it. No stopping on the climb. The miles went quick. I had some things on my mind and it helped distract from the effort. The landmarks went by fast. I was listening to my music, just figuring where I'd be when the songs ended. I kept the tempo nice and steady. No heroics. I put in my mind when I'd become happier. The last being the "bridge" leading into the last mile of the climb. No pushes over the top. I just kept the power down. Concentration was good. Balance and form felt good. Ailments, next to none. Gear worked great, including the charity app. Nutrition, I drank about 1/2 of my Gatorade, no water. No signs of hunger pains, until I got home. Other notes, I saw 1 cyclist on his way up WTR, as I was on my way back.
