09-04-2013 Ride

Solo ride over lunchtime from work, down by the park and up Pomerado Rd  The wind was pretty steady from the west, and the temperature was probably in the low 90's.  I didn't feel all that strong, so I kept plodding along, not feeling inclined to push the pace at all.  Over to Poway Rd, then heading west down to Sabre Springs Pkwy.  This stretch into the wind was a workout, but it was easier after the turn, particularly past Ted Williams Pkwy.  I turned on Carmel Mountain Rd and took it over to Camino del Norte.  This section was slow, uphill and into the wind.  After that, I basically coasted back to work, not pushing the pace and glad to be done because of the heat.

Avg speed = 17.5 mph. Total mileage = 19.2 mi
Avg heartrate = 141 bpm
Total elevation gain = 690'
