08-21-2014 Ride

Solo ride after work, leaving from home through the neighborhood to RB Rd.  Then to Camino del Sur and out to Carmel Valley Rd.  The wind was coming in from the southwest, to I felt it in my face at times on the way out.  I took Carmel Valley Rd over to the 56 bike trail, then rode it back to Camino del Sur.  With the wind at my back, I had a pretty good effort on this stretch, generally keeping it above 17 mph the whole way with many stretches even faster.  Back all the way to Dove Canyon Rd, taking it over to RB Rd and retracing my route to get home.  The wind helped me on the gradual incline section by Del Sur.  Although the temperature was probably in the high 70s, the humidity made me sweat a fair amount, so it was a good workout.

Avg speed = 18.1 mph. Total mileage = 26.8 mi
Total elevation gain = 2090'
