1-30-2010 Ride

Ride with John and Dave starting from John's house. Dave rode over. Headed down Scripps-Poway Pkwy to Mercy Rd, then over to Black Mountain Rd. Took this down to Miramar Rd, then headed west to Genesee Rd. Took this road all the way to Linda Vista. There were several low spots on this road that were cool, but all in all the ride was fairly mild in temperature. Started at about 45 degrees. Up Linda Vista to Aero Dr, then a short jaunt over to Kearny Villa Rd, which we took all the way back to Miramar/Pomerado Rd. I separated from the others on the climbs and kept with them in pace line for most of the ride until by the Marine base, where John started to fall back and it was just me and Dave trading leads. Felt fairly strong going up Pomerado but not super strong. I had breakfast before riding, and this was probably a mistake, since my stomach was kinda queasy. On the short climb where Cypress Canyon tees into Angelique, John and I raced up to the top in a tie. His endurance is pretty good, although he is still slow on the hills.

Average speed = 18.2 mph. Total mileage = 34.2 mi.
Average heartrate = 156 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1100'
