Solo ride from home after being off the previous week due to a serious bout with the flu. I felt okay but didn't want to push it. Headed through the neighborhood, normal route, to RB Rd, taking it easy. Down RB Rd to Camino del Sur, enjoying the day and keeping a steady pace. Took this all the way to Carmel Valley Rd, slowing on the little climb just before this intersection. Went straight through and over to the 56 bike trail, heading east. Not much cycling traffic on this cool Thanksgiving day. Modest pace on the little climb to Black Mountain Rd, keeping things manageable and staying on the bike trail until it transitioned into Ted Williams Pkwy, which I used to get over to Pomerado Rd. Turned left here and had a decent stretch, nowhere near pushing the pace hard, over to the hospital. Then down Pomerado Rd all the way to the freeway and up by the park, steady and feeling pretty good. Home after a total distance a little less than I originally hoped for, but I'll make it up in tomorrow's ride.
Avg speed = 16.4 mph. Total mileage = 24.0 mi
