 Recovery Day
Took the time trial bike back out for the morning ride as my new saddle for the road bike was due to come with the UPS delivery in the afternoon and didn't want to switch the the time trial saddle again. Temperature was ideal and wind was very light. Cranked off the miles on the TTT course to Horseheads. Took it easy but still had a decent average for the low wattage I had put out thanks to the aero advantages.

New carbon fiber saddle was indeed delivered by the blessed UPS guy in the afternoon. Put the new saddle on the bike as well as installing a new chain and a new set of cleats for my shoes. Tried everything out with a ride to Rockstream.Wind had shifted out of the north and was blowing quite strongly. Soft pedalled the climb out of Watkins and kept low into the headwinds up SR 14. Felt well when I turned out of the headwind and started the second mild climb between Rockstream and Reading Center at a more robust pace. Downhill from Reading to Watkins was a blast with the strong tailwind. Felt much better today than yesterday.
