Ride on Friday morning from work, with John and Dave. This was my second ride out on my repaired bike, and it worked well. Headed out to Camino del Norte via Bernardo Center Dr, and we took this road all the way to the 56. I started out slowly, while John and Dave were motoring. Down the bike trail toward the coast, Dave was really pushing the pace, but I could hang with him. Got down to El Camino Real and headed north. On this gradual climb, I pulled ahead, even though I was taking it pretty easy on the pace relative to recent rides (still recovering my cardio fitness, it will take some time). They pulled away a little bit on the downhill toward San Dieguito Rd, but I caught back up and traded leads with them until the climb through Fairbanks Ranch, where I dropped them again. Back to work via Rancho Bernardo Rd to Via del Campo. Weather was pretty good overall, although it was chilly at the start. Dave was going to ride another 40 miles after we finished, which was pretty incredible, given the pace that we were riding.
Average speed = 18.1 mph. Total mileage = 31.9 mi.
Average heartrate (with stops) = 152 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1150'
