Solo time trial ride, starting at 6:00 because I had to be at church early. I had the lights on but didn't need them for myself, only to be seen more easily. I started kinda slow up the first hills but kept a pretty steady pace going up Pomerado Rd, trying to ride above 20 mph once I got past the hospital and keeping it at that pace for nearly all of the Poway Rd stretch. I slowed down on the section up Sabre Springs Pkwy and Rancho Carmel Dr but didn't let up, same thing on the little climb on Camino del Norte. I caught the lights by the freeway and rode through by work, again trying to keep pedaling. I hit the light at full speed by RB Rd but was running out of gas in my legs and couldn't maintain a high speed near Duenda Rd. Finished with a decent push up this last little climb and coasting home. Ended at 57:58, which was better than I expected, given my tired legs.
