03-07-2013 Ride

Solo ride over lunch from work.  It had been raining in the morning, and I was concerned that the weather wouldn't clear enough for me to get a ride in.  But it did, so I headed out Bernardo Center Dr and Carmel Valley Rd, taking this first climb fairly quickly.  Took this road all the way to the 56 bike trail, then motored up to Camino del Sur, riding fast.  This section was probably close to a PR for me.  Back on Camino del Sur, making decent time (seemed a little slow on the small climb to the light at Carmel Valley Rd).  I made decent time on the stretch back into 4S Ranch, then pushed the pace back into RB, taking RB Rd back to Via del Campo.  As a combination of my fitness and some favorable winds, I had a pretty fast time.

Avg speed = 19.5 mph. Total mileage = 21.3 mi
Avg heartrate = 146 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1650'
