Solo ride from home after work. Headed over by the park to Highland Valley Rd, then up to the top and a little beyond. I got to the place where the palm trees line the road, then turned around. I was really struggling on the steeper sections of the climbs; my lower back was giving me lots of problems. Not sure why, unless I still haven't recovered from last Sunday's draining ride. The weather was cloudy at the start, then the sun was out as I headed toward Ramona, then cloudy on the way back home. Again, my average heartrate was low because I couldn't keep up speed on the climbs.
Avg. speed = 15.0 mph. Total mileage = 21.6 mi
Avg heartrate = 145 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1430'
