11-11-2011 Ride

Solo ride from work in the afternoon.  Knew that the weather was going to be bad over the weekend, so I figured I'd get some miles in.  Went out Camino del Norte to Carmel Valley Rd.  This little climb was a chore for me, again because I haven't been riding a lot of miles recently.  Got on Camino del Sur over to the 56 bike trail, then took this down to Carmel Valley Rd.  Rode it back to Camino del Sur, then back to the office using the normal route via RB Rd.  All through this ride, I felt kinda sluggish, and I didn't really click on why until later, when I remembered that I had given blood on the previous Monday.  I finished with a decent average speed, all things considered.

Avg speed = 18 mph. Total mileage = 21.2
Avg heartrate = 155 bpm
Total elevation gain = 890'
