Solo ride from home, leaving early to get done sooner. This approach helped me avoid the hotter weather, but it was still warm and muggy for the latter half of the ride. Headed through the neighborhood over to RB Rd, then out to Camino del Sur and San Dieguito Rd. The sun was already out by this time. Used El Apajo/Via de Santa Fe to get over to Via de la Valle. My legs were okay, but I didn't feel strong during this ride. Took this road all the way down to the coast, then through Del Mar and up Torrey Pines. Here, I did okay, not letting my speed get below 9 mph. Over Genesee to Eastgate Mall, using this road to connect to Miramar Rd. My average speed on this road was below par (tired legs), and I was also slow up to the top of Pomerado Rd. Took this road all the way to the freeway, then back home by the park and the normal route. I was really slow up the little climb just past the freeway, okay on the last little climb to the stop sign.
Avg speed = 17.7 mph. Total mileage = 47.3 mi
