This is the first ride since Caliente. The legs feel good. Pretty much 100% recovered. I didn't want to push it too much, so I headed up the Alpine Forest. Plenty of climbing on a brief ride. The weather is great, as is always is this time of the year. I felt good from the start. The cool air and slight breeze in the South direction helped a lot. I made it to the end of OTR, but forgot to check the time. Probably making it there in good average. The Banducci wall was with some traffic mitigation, otherwise I was able to stomp it out. I felt better when I reached the Alpine Forest. Less traffic and easier to focus on the ride. I was red-lining it half of the climb. At maximum reaching Lemans. I made my way around the backside and to the summit. I took a few moments rest at the summit and then headed back. The remainder was mostly downhill. Concentration was good. Still a bit bitter about putting a chip on my car. It will take a while to get over it. Balance and form was good. I was able to sit in the saddle and spin for a few moments on the steeper sections of the climb. Ailments were minimal. Gear worked perfect. Other notes, no other cyclists today. I took some photos of cows grazing at the summit of Banducci. I stopped once more to take photos of what appeared to be the Indian Hill (face that looks like an american indian).
