Solo ride from home, heading through the neighborhood to RB Rd and Camino del Sur, out to the 56 bike trail. I wanted to get out early (6:30 start), since I had to be at the SDA church later in the morning. I wasn't trying to ride super fast, but I was intent on giving it a good effort. On the bike trail, I had a little bit of a headwind, so I didn't ride as well as I intended. Steady, not spectacular climb up El Camino Real, then dropping down into the flats and over to Via de la Valle. Connected to Via de Santa Fe/El Apajo via Calzada del Bosque, then onto San Dieguito Rd. I felt like I had a good climb here, keeping my pace above 11 mph over all of the three hills. But it was a real struggle at the end to keep the pace. Dialed it back after that, retracing my route back to RB Rd, but staying on it down to W Bernardo Dr and heading home that way. I was disappointed in my average speed and heartrate, might be some stress from BW activities affecting my performance.
I think this was the first ride I tracked using MapMyRide on my new smartphone.
Avg speed = 17.1 mph. Total mileage = 35.3 mi
Avg heartrate = 148 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1150'
