Solo ride in the morning before church, where I wanted to see the damage from the Bernardo fire. I headed through the neighborhood to RB Rd, then on to Camino del Sur and out west. No real fire damage until I rode downhill by the bridge, where I saw the fire had run through this gap from the valley to the south toward Fairbanks Ranch and Rancho Santa Fe. It had burned out all of the valley but was stopped at the tops of the ridges, where the houses are. Turned on San Dieguito Rd and rode down into Fairbanks Ranch (no fire damage) and around over to El Camino Real. On the hill up into Del Mar Heights, I couldn't keep my speed above 10 mph, out of shape. I headed down to the 56 bike trail and up to Carmel Valley Rd, taking it all the way back into 4S Ranch. There was fire damage at the northeast corner of Carmel Valley Rd and Camino del Sur, but it didn't cross the road to get into the neighborhoods south of Carmel Valley Rd. I was slow climbing back up the little hill on Dove Canyon Rd, which I took over to RB Rd. Then it was back home via W Bernardo Rd. It was an okay ride for me, I could tell I need to increase the frequency and effort in my rides to improve my cycling fitness.
Avg speed = 17.4 mph. Total mileage = 31.5 mi
Total elevation gain = 2280'
