08-27-2016 Ride

Solo ride over to John's house, generally taking the normal route with the exception of riding through the neighborhood by the post office to get to Pomerado Rd.  Steady but not scorching pace.  I met up with him, Dave, and Jim at his house, and we rode up to the top of Pomerado Rd and then down to Kearny Villa Rd, taking it to Clairemont Mesa Blvd for a short jaunt over to Murphy Canyon Rd.  We took this road down to the bike trail that empties into the Qualcomm Stadium parking lot, and we circled around the stadium, exiting onto Friars Rd and riding west to Mission Central Rd, which has a generally uphill trend until the last half mile or so, where it gets quite steep.  Left on Murray Ridge Rd over to Sandrock Rd, taking another left and then yet another left onto Aero Dr.  Shortly after, the others turned to head back to John's house, and I continued over to Linda Vista Rd, heading south to ride down to Little Italy.  Stayed on it until Morena Blvd, riding to Taylor St and then left onto Congress St and San Diego Ave.  Down to Noell St and then over to Hancock St, then California St to Kettner Blvd.  From there, it was generally straight, with a little jog onto India St, down into Little Italy.  Once I got down there, I had a smoothie (very expensive!) and waited to meet up with Ann, Laura, and Andra to visit the farmer's market.

08-23-2016 Ride

Solo ride to yoga, taking the normal route.  I had the benefit of a steady tailwind on the section across the freeway and on BVP, and it boosted by speed noticeably.  Finished in 34:50.

Avg speed = 18.3 mph. Total mileage = 10.6 mi

08-21-2016 Ride

Slow and easy time trial ride with Jim, as I was originally planning on riding in the afternoon with Andy Sweet (didn't happen after all).  After this ride, my legs were pretty tired, accumulated workouts from the previous day's ride and afternoon hike.  Finished in 1:10:40, the slowest time in a long time.

Total mileage = 17.9 mi
Avg heartrate = 115 bpm

08-20-2016 Hike

Posted long afterwards.  Hike in the afternoon with Ann and the church group, around Batiquitos Lagoon near La Costa.  I don't clearly remember any details of this hike, but it might have been the one where Joe and I at one point got to talking about Chinese opera music and how dissonant it was.

Total distance = 4.62 mi

Elapsed time = 2:01:57

08-20-2016 Ride

Solo ride initially, riding over to Dave's house via BVP to Sunset Dr and then to Escondido Blvd.  To Felicita Rd and then to Brotherton Rd.  Met up with John, Jim, and Dave, and we took the "standard" route from his house, over to Centre City Pkwy and up to Deer Springs Rd.  I felt okay on the little climbs, and I pushed myself on the small one past Country Club Ln.  Down to Twin Oaks Valley Pkwy and then took a right on Buena Creek Rd.  The downhill section of this road was a nice ride.  Over to Santa Fe Ave and Mission Rd, heading back toward Escondido.  I was feeling okay in my legs, not pushing it much but keeping a decent cadence going.  Jim wasn't feeling very good, so I hung back to ride with him for awhile.  All the way to Centre City Pkwy and then to Felicita Rd, taking it to Brotherton Rd and back to Dave's house.  Short break, then home the normal way.  I had good enough legs to make it up the last two little climbs without any muscle tightness, although I was a little slower than I hoped to be on the first climb before the park.

Avg speed = 16.5 mph. Total mileage = 39.1 mi
Avg heartrate = 134 bpm

08-14-2016 Ride

Ride from church with Andy Sweet.  He was quite nice about keeping his pace dialed back, as I'm working to get back into cycling shape.  It was a very warm and breezy day.  We headed up Broadway to Jesmond Dene Rd and then over to Centre City Pkwy.  I was pretty slow on this climb, but I gave it a big effort.  Over to Deer Springs Pkwy and then to Twin Oaks Valley Pkwy and Buena Creek Rd.  Over to Santa Fe Ave and Mission Rd back into Escondido, then on Centre City Pkwy to 5th Ave to head back to church.  I was pretty tired by this point, so I rode home slowly.  On the climb up before the park, I got a flat tire and initially decided to walk back home.  I ended up walking my bike to the shade by the park and changing the tube.  Back home, slowly, and glad to finish that ride.  My legs were pretty tired from the heat and high level of effort.

Avg speed = 17.5 mph. Total mileage = 28.8 mi
Avg heartrate = 156 bpm (!)
Total elevation gain = 1090'
