Solo ride in the morning before work, heading out through the neighborhood and intending to keep a high pace. I had gone for a run the previous evening after work, which went pretty well (3.4 mi in a little over 30 min), so my legs (calves in particular) were sore from this unexpected exertion. Out to RB Rd and over to Camino del Sur, then Carmel Valley Rd. I kept a decent pace on the little uphill sections on Camino del Sur. It started out clear but I rode into some fairly dense fog as I got closer to the coast. Stopped for a banana break before I headed up the 56 bike trail. I was slow on the first gradual uphill section but did better on the second section. Headed back via Camino del Sur, a little slower than I would have liked on the gradual climb into 4S Ranch. Took RB Rd down to W Bernardo Dr and got back home the normal way from here. Felt good throughout the day from the workout, although my legs were a little sore.
