07-18-2016 Ride

Solo ride after work, riding through the neighborhood to Matinal Rd and then to W Bernardo Dr.  Up to RB Rd, taking a right and heading west to Camino del Sur.  There was a fairly steady breeze coming in from the southwest.  Over to the 56 bike trail, taking it up to Black Mountain Rd and making pretty good time up this small climb, helped by a tailwind at this point.  Back over to Carmel Valley Rd, staying on it to Bernardo Center Dr and then back home via the route taking me by HP.  Generally, I kept a steady, modest pace, with the exception of the small climb on Bernardo Center Dr, where another rider tried to stay on my rear wheel, causing me to put in the extra effort needed to shake him loose.  Overall, this route doesn't have many flat sections, just a lot of ups and downs.

Avg speed = 16.7 mph. Total mileage = 21.0 mi
Avg heartrate = 127 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1740'
