Early morning solo ride before work on a Friday, heading through the neighborhood to Matinal Rd and then over to W Bernardo Dr. Up the hill and past work, keeping it above 10 mph with a struggle. From here, I rode the time trial route in reverse, with a not-too-bad stretch on the stretch of Pomerado Rd after the Poway Rd turn. Slowed down near the tops of these gradual inclines, before Ted Williams Pkwy and the hospital. Kept going on Pomerado Rd past RB Rd, following it down to the freeway and home the normal way from there. This was the first ride in a long time where I averaged more than 17.5 mph. Legs felt a little tired from my run earlier in the week, but cardio was in okay form.
Avg speed = 17.6 mph. Total mileage = 20.1 mi
Avg heartrate = 138 bpm
