I was so excited this morning to wake up and see the sun! I drove to Gasworks and started my ride around the lake a little before 11 AM. I rode South first and was so very happy to be outside instead of inside for this ride -- been so very lucky with the weather.

I did have a small victory and did not touch my brakes when descending unless there was a reason aside from being freaked out because of the speed. I also kept gearing fairly easy and focused on my spin. I was hoping for a sweet tailwind on the trail at the end but that request was denied by the universe and I ended up having to work to keep it at 14mph.
