I botched the timing. I noticed the clock wasn't running about 3 miles into the ride. So, I lost the GPS data on that. I have it recorded on Wahoo. So, I'll have to make another entry for the first 3 miles.

The weather is cold. Cloudy, in the 40's. But, warm enough to get out for a good ride. The legs felt pretty good. I was trying to do the numbers in my head. Thinking about the time adjustment. I kept the tempo steady. No digs today. It wasn't the right weather for that. I was going through the steps for doing a Caliente ride. I'll do it no sooner than next weekend. I was thinking mostly about the start and finish. Getting there with my car and making sure I don't forget anything. I have the steps memorized. I think I want to start the ride around 9-10 AM. I made it to the top of Banducci, but was only able to estimate the time by about 10 minutes lost. I made my way down the mountain. I put on my face mask at this point. I did moderate tempo to SS. Making it around the backside. I don't remember the time through the tunnel. The trek through the farmlands was mostly moderate tempo. I was trying to figure out the time to Boss Hogs. I calculated that I got there around 1:27-ish hours into the ride at that point. I pulled over one last time before the last climb to swap out the GoPro battery. Then headed up the climb shortly after. From there, I was able to relax. Mostly downhill from there. Route 202 was modest traffic mitigation, then fun and games once I made it to OTR. Concentration was good. I had lots to think about and the music was keeping me company. Ailments were minimal. Some hand soreness, and the usual fatigue. Balance and form felt good. I was able to dance on the pedals while going through the rollers on OTR. Gear worked perfect. Nutrition was good. No hunger pains. I went through all of my Gatorade, no water. Other notes, I saw just one runner, no cyclists.
