8-26-2011 Ride

Solo ride at lunch from work. It was hot during the ride, and that really sapped my strength, particularly in the latter half of the ride. Headed over to RB Rd using Via del Campo, then out Camino del Sur to Carmel Valley Rd. I went down the hill past this intersection to the next stop light, then turned around and headed back. Here is where I was struggling. Headed back into 4S Ranch, using Dove Canyon Rd to get back over to RB Rd, then took the usual route back to work. Riding in hot, muggy weather is much more challenging than when it is cool and relatively dry.

Avg speed = 17.3 mph. Total mileage = 15.4 mi
Avg heartrate = 149 bpm
Total elevation gain = 660'
