1-6-2011 Ride

Solo ride from work over lunch, heading down W Bernardo Dr and up Pomerado Rd all the way to the top. I felt okay in the early parts of the ride, the weather was a little cool but otherwise nice. The last 1-mile climb up to the top went reasonably well, as I was able to keep up a good but not great pace. However, after this part, I didn't have much energy for the rest of the ride, which took me downhill the normal route to Sabre Springs Pkwy, then to Rancho Carmel Pkwy. Turned right on Carmel Mountain Rd, and I didn't have much energy at all. Went back to work via Camino del Norte to Bernardo Center Dr to W Bernardo Dr. During the ride, my left leg, just above my knee, felt fine, which was a good sign given that it was sore at the end of my last ride.
