Today was warmer than the previous rides. Around upper 40's, winds from the south-east. I decided to wear the standard winter kit. Turns out that I probably could have gone with less. I felt ok going out the door. It took me a while to get warmed up. I did average time to Route 202. I climbed Banducci in moderate to good tempo. I felt pretty good. When I reached the summit, I assessed the wind conditions. The wind was mild today. Although it was going North West. I decided not to do the SS loop. I think that was the right choice. I'll save that for a better day. I did mostly moderate tempo through the farm-lands and slightly more on the last climb. No digs today. I pushed it over the last kicker, but nothing extreme. I was able to recover on the false flat after the climb. When I reached Route 202, I waited for traffic and then commenced the quick descent. to OTR. From that point, it was mostly fun and games. Overall, I'd say it was a good average ride. My concentration was good today. I wasn't struggling to keep my focus. Balance and form was also good. I felt nice and square on the pedals. Ailments were next to none. Just the usual exhaustion from the effort. Gear is working well. The bike got dirty from run off water and dirt. Other notes, no other cyclists today.
