The weather was cool with moderate winds from the north west. I wore the standard kit, and 1 base layer. I decided to do an improv. ride. I felt good going out the door. I kept the tempo moderate while making my way to Route 202. I decided to climb Highline first. I had a tailwind. I kept the tempo moderate, out of the saddle frequently. After reaching the summit, I descended and made my way to the start of the Banducci climb. I put the greater of my efforts on the wall. Afterwards, I commenced climbing in moderate tempo to the summit. I took a minute break then headed my way back. After checking the overall time, I decided I to extend the ride to the summit of WTR. I kept the tempo nice and steady, no digs today. In the meantime, I was checking for mystery noises from the bike. The observation that I made was that it happens only when I'm out of the saddle. I put grease on the rear cable / housing. Apparently, there's other investigating needed. Concentration today was a bit better than the previous ride, average at best. I was thinking of landmarks as I was making my way through the route. Gremlins continue to persist. This posed a challenge, but I did what I set out to do. Balance and form was the greater of things. Ailments were minimal. Gear is working well, other than the mystery noises. Mom and Dad's phone was unable to acquire the Live Activity progress. Other notes, I saw 2 other cyclists today.
