The weather has cleared up. Nice, sunny and on the cool side. Just the way I like it. The wind was going the north. A good day to go to the Alpine Forest. The legs felt good from the start. I was sufficiently warmed up by the time I reached the end of OTR. Getting there in good average time. The Banducci Wall went well. I was within my limits. No red-lining it. Then Alps. Always a relaxing climb despite its gradient. I made it to the speed bumps before I knew it. Reaching the summit without going too far into the red. I think I was at around 152 bpm HR. So, I had enough left in reserve. I made my way around the backside. I checked the elevation. It was at around 4960-ish feet. The descents were fun. I reached over 43 MPH on the first dip. After reaching Banudcci, I headed to the summit. When I got there, I took a few moments rest. The GoPro battery was at around 52%. I let traffic by and then headed back down the mountain. I made it safely to OTR. From there, it was cruise control till I made it back home. Concentration was good. I had stuff to think about. My smart trainer went kaput. I bought a new one and it is due to arrive tomorrow. Balance and form felt good. Ailments, next to none. I was able to put near max pressure into the pedals and no knee pains. Gear worked perfect. Nutrition was good. No hunger signs. I went through 2/3rds of my Gatorade, no water. Other notes, no cyclists or runners out there today.
