Ride at lunch with the HP crew. First time out with them, and I was very surprised that they didn't really push the pace as hard as I thought on the flats and that they were nearly all better climbers. Oh well, it gives me something to work on. Went out Via del Campo to RB Rd, then over to Artesian Rd. This is a nice road, little traveled, but you have to watch out for a series of speed bumps after a fairly long downhill. Get to a gate, which you have to lift your bike over, then it's uphill through Rancho Santa Fe. A series of roads eventually leads you back to Del Dios, then its through the town and left onto La Gracia Rd. Connected via a series of roads to Calzada del Bosque, which connects into Via de Santa Fe. Took this to San Dieguito Rd, then up the hill to Camino del Sur. This is where I fell behind nearly everybody on the hill. Back via the same general way we came.
Average speed = 16.7 mph. Total mileage = 21.7 mi.
Average heartrate = 149 bpm
Total elevation gain = 920'
