Today's weather was cool, in the low 50's, winds from the North West. I wore arms, knees, and one base layer. Turned out to be just right. I felt good from the start. I got warmed up in no time. I made it to Route 202 in about 20 minutes. Excellent, considering I wasn't hammering at the time. The outbound on Highline was nice with the tailwind. The roads were mostly rideable. Some mud patches here and there, but no salt on the bike path. I felt good on the way out, I held moderate to good tempo. The return trip, into the headwind, started mostly with moderate and I picked up the pace as the ride went on. It was mostly steady pacing. I didn't make a dig on the last kicker, but I kept the momentum going. The last 1/2 mile riser was more of the same tempo. From the return on OTR, it was fun and games to the doorstep. Concentration was spot on, a few minor lapses, nothin major. Balance and form felt real good today. I felt especially good on Highline. Ailments consisted of minor lower back soreness. I have a bruise on my right ankle. I think I bumped into something the other day. Gear is working great. Some squeaks, but I think it has to do with the water and debris that seeped into the pedal and cleats. Other notes, I saw 2 other cyclists, twice, on the way out and back on Highline. I some gliders as I was nearing the end of Highline on the outbound.
