7-15-2010 Ride

Solo ride from home after work. It had been awhile since I had ridden, what with the SSP week taking up two weekends. The day had been really hot, and there were threatening clouds off to the northeast. Took the standard route by the park and up Pomerado Rd all the way to Poway Rd. Right around this time, it started to sprinkle. Turned right on Poway Rd and headed down to Sabre Springs Pkwy, then up to Carmel Mountain Rd. On this section of the ride, it was raining pretty good, but the streets weren't super wet. Stayed wet for the rest of the ride, but the rain let up on Camino del Norte. Headed back home via work. For the first ride after an extended layoff, it went alright. Early in the ride, it really seemed hot, but my average heartrate for the whole ride wasn't too high.

Average speed = 17.2 mph. Total mileage = 19.6 mi
Average heartrate = 150 bpm.
Total elevation gain = 680'
