05-21-2013 Ride

Solo ride from home to yoga, taking the route through the San Pasqual Valley.  I had the wind working with me on the climb up Highland Valley Rd, and I made good time and didn't really struggle.  The ride down into the valley was fast over to the 78, then I started heading into the wind.  It was something of a workout, but I felt fine until I started climbing out, at which point I started running out of gas.  I made it up the hill, but it was much slower than I was hoping to ride.  After that, the rest of the ride went smoothly, taking the normal yoga route once I got onto BVP.

Avg speed = 17.1 mph. Total mileage = 21.0 mi
