11-24-2014 Ride

Solo ride over lunch from work, riding over to Bernardo Center Dr and out Carmel Valley Rd to Camino del Sur.  I put in a decent enough effort on the climb up to Black Mountain Rd, although I could clearly tell that my cycling fitness has dropped quite a bit.  Over to the 56 bike trail, where I found myself riding into a headwind that slowed me down.  It worked more to my advantage once I got back onto Carmel Valley Rd and started heading back.  Turned onto Camino del Sur and took it back to RB Rd, with slow going on the minor climbs through Del Sur.  Rode back to work via Via del Campo, and I was slowing down from the higher level of exertion, and possibly the higher temperature, on this ride.

Avg speed = 18.1 mph. Total mileage = 21.4 mi
Avg heartrate = 151 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1660'
