Solo ride on a Saturday morning, when I couldn't get anybody else to ride along. I was riding on my old bike (still waiting for my repaired rear wheel to be shipped back from Reynolds), and I had not been exercising much. I had a couple of days earlier in the week where I was in pain around my right kidney any time I laid down and put any pressure on it. It caused me a couple of uncomfortable nights sleeping on Tuesday and Wednesday, then it resolved itself early Thursday morning. So I wasn't interested in setting any speed records, just to get some miles back on my legs. Headed over the freeway to BVP and took it up to Citrus Ave, Over to El Norte Pkwy, and then down to Broadway. Out to Jesmond Dene Rd, with a fairly slow ride up to the top of the last little climb. Out to Centre City Pkwy and then up to Deer Springs Rd. Here I stopped briefly to eat a banana before continuing on. Down to Twin Oaks Valley Rd and then back in toward San Marcos to get onto Barham Dr. Back to Mission Rd, riding it to Washington Ave and then over to Valley Pkwy via Hale Ave and Tulip St. Over to Centre City Pkwy and then home the normal way, feeling generally fine in my legs and not too back for my cardio. It was a good distance and route to get back in the saddle.
Avg speed = 16.4 mph. Total mileage = 35.0 mi
Avg heartrate = 135 bpm
Total elevation gain gain = 1610'
