12-3-2011 Ride

Ride with John and Dave in the morning from John's house.  It was pretty cold at the start.  We headed up to the top of Pomerado Rd using the normal route, then down on Miramar Rd all the way to Genesee Ave.  In this part of the ride, we had the wind at our backs, and we really made good time.  On Genesee, we slowed down, as this route has a number of ups and downs.  Interestingly, none of them are long enough to qualify categorization.  I did okay on them, still need to work on my cardio fitness.  Headed over to Linda Vista Rd, then back to Aero Dr for the connection to Kearny Villa Rd, and back to Pomerado Rd.  We pretty much hung together on this stretch, except for the last bit, where I pulled away.  Going up Pomerado, I felt decent and made a decent, not great, climb.  Back to John's house the normal way.

Avg speed = 17.5 mph. Total mileage = 32.9 mi
Avg heartrate = 151 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1080' (seems like more on this ride)
