It cooled down today. It was nice and comfortable, in the low 70's / upper 60's and winds from the North-West. It was one of those diesel engine days. I was a slow to start, but got better as the ride progressed. I made it to the end of OTR in average time. When I got to Highline, the wind was almost perfectly east. After about half way to Willow Springs, the wind shifted to a cross-tail. I throttled back after the wind conditions changed. I did no less than moderate tempo on the way out, but no heroics. The return trip was mostly moderate tempo. The wind was a cross-head, so I saw no point in pushing too much. I was contemplating doing Banducci, but decided against it. Concentration was good. I was able to stay in the zen state for most of the ride with minimal gremlins or lapses. Ailments consisted of saddle soreness, I think mild wrist and numbness in the right hand. The saddle soreness was one of the reasons I decided not to do Banducci. After reaching Route 202 on the return, it was mostly fun and games. Gear is working perfect. Other notes, I saw 1 other cyclist as I was making my way down OTR.
