Solo ride after work, heading out through the neighborhood to RB Rd, then to Camino del Sur. The first part of the ride, maybe the first 6 mi or so, was basically into the wind, and I was working hard to maintain speed. I had a little bit of a tailwind going up the slight grade before Carmel Valley Rd. Headed all the way over to the 56 bike trail, where I turned around and reversed my course. The wind helped me more than hindered me on the way back. I made good, not great, time on the climb back into 4S Ranch, then the wind was a significant help as I rode well on RB Rd down to W Bernardo Dr and back to Duenda. Powered up the last little climb. This was the most challenging short bike workout that I've done in awhile, but I felt good at the end.
