4-15-09 Ride

Solo ride from home after work down to Rancho Santa Fe and back, via the Del Dios route. It was cool and breezy, even windy. The wind was coming from the southwest, so it was blowing in my face nearly the entire way down to RSF. Even on the downhills, I was generally having to pedal. Calves were tight throughout the ride, perhaps because of all of the sitting during the day. On the way back, the wind pushed me nearly all the way, and I really motored along Del Dios and Via Rancho. Felt good at the end, fairly strong. I ended up traveling much faster on the way back than on the way down.
Average speed = 17.9 mph. Total mileage = 29.4 mi.
