03-01-2013 Ride

Solo ride in the afternoon from work, heading over W Bernardo Dr to Bernardo Center Dr and connecting to Camino del Norte.  The weather was warm and very dry.  There was a fair amount of traffic on the surface streets, but it wasn't a problem.  Went over to Carmel Mountain Rd and then got onto Rancho Carmel Dr, taking it to Sabre Springs Pkwy and over to Poway Rd.  Up to Pomerado Rd, then all the way down to the freeway and back up to work via W Bernardo Dr.  This is a decent loop, a little less than 20 mi, in either direction, rolling with no significant climbs, just some uphill sections calling for extra exertion.  The two uphill sections on the way back to work were not anywhere as bad as I thought they might be, just chugging along.

Avg speed = 18.0 mph. Total mileage = 19.4 mi
Avg heartrate = 137 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1070'
