10-15-2014 Ride

Solo ride in the morning, starting a little after 6:00 when it was still dark and riding for about 45 min with my headlight on.  Headed down by the park and then up Pomerado Rd to Scripps-Poway Pkwy.  I thought it was going to be cooler than it actually was, and it was slightly muggy too.  Headed west on Scripps-Poway Pkwy up to Angelique St and took it until it ended at Cypress Canyon Rd.  I couldn't keep my pace above 10 mph on this little climb.  Right on this road, which goes back down to Scripps-Poway Pkwy, where I turned right and headed east, climbing pretty well up to Stowe Dr and taking it down to Community Rd.  Coasted down this hill and turned right on Hilleary Pl to get over to Midland Rd and then to Twin Peaks Rd, which I rode over to Espola Rd.  Again, a steady, solid effort on this very gradual climb, and I pushed it a little bit on the slight downhill back toward RB.  Over to W Bernardo Dr via Duenda Rd, turning right and taking it down to Aguamiel Rd for the little climb back home.

Avg speed = 17.4 mph. Total mileage = 28.4 mi
Total elevation gain = 1820'
