Solo ride on a cloudy overcast morning. I couldn't get anybody to take the chance of riding in the rain. Headed over the freeway to BVP and up to Sunset Dr, taking it over to Escondido Blvd. Heading north, I caught just a few sprinkles but it wasn't bad at all. Up to Decatur Way to get over to Centre City Pkwy, and I took it north up to Country Club Ln and then to El Norte Pkwy, which turns into Borden Rd. To Vineyard Rd and then Woodward St to get over to Mission Rd / Santa Fe Ave. I rode up to Robelini Dr, which turns into Sycamore Ave. This is a nice road to ride, not much traffic and good bike lanes. There was another brief spate of sprinkles, but it didn't last. Over to Melrose Dr, where by this time I was starting to tire out. So I turned onto Palomar Airport Rd / San Marcos Blvd and started heading back. To Discovery St and up to Craven Rd, riding by the university and getting onto Barham Dr. Over to Mission Rd and into town, turning right on Rock Springs Rd, then over to Centre City Pkwy via Washington Ave. Home the normal way from there, although I was feeling it in my legs (no cramps, just tiredness) riding into a headwind coming generally from the south. Kept my speed above 10 mph throughout this ride, but I didn't have the stamina to push a high pace for any extended periods.
Avg speed = 16.3 mph. Total mileage = 40.0 mi
Avg heartrate = 133 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1920'
