07-25-2013 Ride

Solo ride after work, heading up Azucar Way and through the neighborhood to RB Rd, over to Via del Campo and connecting to W Bernardo Dr.  Over to Bernardo Center Dr and on to Camino del Norte, heading up to Carmel Mountain Rd, then onto Rancho Carmel Dr.  The wind was coming in pretty steadily from the southwest.  I made decent time on this section, turning onto Ted Williams Pkwy and benefiting from the tailwind.  Left on Pomerado Rd, which I took all the way down to the freeway, then heading home the normal way.  I felt pretty good on this short, relatively easy ride, although my heartrate was spiking in the little sections where I put out a sustained effort.  It recovered quickly, though.

Avg speed = 18.3 mph. Total mileage = 16.9 mi
Avg heartrate = 141 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1130'
