I wasn't feeling too good today. The body is somewhat achy. I was 50/50 on going for a ride. I elected to go for a ride and see what happens. I brought two bottles. In such, I figured riding to WS first would be the best decision. Besides, the wind was heading West. The outbound was mostly moderate tempo. No heroics. I reached the turn-around and headed back. The tailwind felt good. I reached 40 MPH on the downhill. After that, I felt ok. So, I decided to head up Banducci, instead of the Alpine Forest. I had to pull over once to replace the battery on the GoPro. After that, it was non-stop to the summit. I took a few moments respite, hydrated, let the traffic by. And then headed back downhill. From there, it was mostly fun and games through OTR and home. Concentration was so-so today. Some dark patches out there. I had to coach a bit. Balance and form was good. Ailments, some quad soreness, left shoulder blade soreness, and just a general feel of not so goodness. Gear worked flawless. But, I think the GoPro gave out before the battery ran out. Nutrition was good. No hunger pains.
I went through my entire Gatorade bottle.
And more then half my water. Other notes, no other cyclists today.
