10-08-2013 Ride

Solo ride over lunch from work, heading over to Camino del Norte and taking it to Carmel Mountain Rd.  I was feeling pretty good, it was one of those days where it always seemed like the wind was at my back.  Over to Rancho Carmel Dr/Sabre Springs Pkwy and out to Poway Rd.  I wasn't trying super hard to put in a big effort, but I was moving along pretty well.  Down to Oak Knoll Rd and onto Pomerado Dr.  Here, it seemed like the wind was really helping me, and I kept up a good pace all the way down to the freeway.  Then it was slower as I climbed back to work.  I slowed down more than I would have liked on the last climbing section, but otherwise I felt good about my effort.

Avg speed = 18.6 mph. Total mileage = 19.6 mi
Avg heartrate = 144 bpm
Total elevation gain = 690'
