Solo ride after work, going down W Bernardo Dr and up Pomerado to the top of the hill. The last climb was slower than I'd hoped I would be able to ride it. Down Pomerado through Scripps Ranch and across the freeway, turning right on Kearny Villa Rd and taking Black Mountain Rd all the way to its dead end. There is a pretty steep section on this road, just past Mercy Rd and continuing up to the 56 overpass. I chased another rider up this section and caught him just before the crest. The rest of the Black Mountain Rd section was relatively easy. Turned left on Carmel Valley Rd and rode it down to Camino del Sur, which I took up to RB Rd. Kept up a pretty decent pace on this gradual uphill section. Took RB Rd down to W Bernardo Dr and climbed the last section back to work. That last section slowed down my average speed quite a bit. Finished feeling pretty good.
Average speed = 17.5 mph. Total mileage = 34.3 mi.
Average heartrate = 148 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1470'
