Went east to ride on flat roads with the intent of having a recovery sesh. However, winds were very strong from west, so the entire distance from Windsor to Loveland felt like a light workout, even though I was spinning in my lowest gear for much of that stretch. Legs are probably about the same as yesterday, but I feel pretty drained after this ride. I didn't eat much today, it was hot, I got flustered about the wind, idk.

Rode with the new 28mm Conti GP5000s for the first time. They felt incredible after riding on 25mm Gatorskins since September.  GP5000s supposedly save about 10W over Gatorskins, per tire. I reckon the watt savings are going to be even greater on rough roads. The GPs are much softer and supple than the stiff Gatorskins, so should result in less watts lost due to bumps/rough surfaces. Faster tires should help offset some of the watts lost as a result of taking off the aero wheels, especially at <20mph cruising speeds.

Might invest in a pocket anemometer and wind sock
