Ride: I am very pleased with today's effort. Perhaps not expending too much effort yesterday helped today, but I also feel as if my conditioning is starting to come up and I am not too far off my summer condition from last year. A few more of these I think I will be on track. I racked up a good amount of time in L4 and L3 today.
