12-20-2015 Ride

Ride up to Jim's house, intending to ride the time trial route with him.  We started from his place and, as he was riding up Duenda Rd over the freeway, he was having real trouble with his left knee.  So he ended up having to turn back and ride home.  I kept going, riding over to Bernardo Center Dr and staying on it up to Lomica Dr.  Rode over to Pomerado Rd via this route, then stayed on Pomerado Rd up to Scripps-Poway Pkwy to get some additional miles in.  I was able to keep my speed above 10 mph on the climb up to Springbrook Dr, but it took a big effort from me.  Down to Sabre Springs Pkwy, staying on it and Rancho Carmel Dr up to the first turn onto Carmel Mountain Rd.  Then I followed the time trial route, staying on W Bernardo Dr all the way down to Aguamiel Rd for the final little climb back to the house.  I put in a big effort for my fitness level and was disappointed in my average speed.  More miles and general exercise needed to get in better shape.

Avg speed = 16.6 mph. Total mileage = 20.2 mi
Avg heartrate = 148 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1320'
