2-3-2011 Ride

Solo ride during lunch from work, taking the extended loop. The wind had scaled back a lot from the previous day, coming more from the northeast. It was still a little cool at the start, but I warmed up fairly quickly. I was able to keep a fast pace all the way up Pomerado Rd, passing a small group of riders and dusting them. Stayed fast down to Poway Rd., and even on the return I made good time, with the exception of near the end. I kept up a steady pace going up Camino del Norte, keeping a good tempo particularly on the second section. Finished fast to keep my average speed up. Again, felt great at the end, no real tiredness or soreness.

Avg. speed = 19.4 mph. Total mileage = 16.5 mi
Avg. heartrate = 155 bpm
Total elevation gain = 620'
