Ride from my house with Jim, Dave, and John. Jim had requested a relatively flat route, and I generally knew which way we were going to take, although I improvised a couple of times during the ride. Down by the park and over the freeway to get to BVP. We took it up to the 78, then a short jog over to Citrus Ave. Back to BVP, then a right onto Valley Blvd to get to El Norte Pkwy, where we took a left and stayed on it until Broadway. Over to Country Club Ln, riding through this neighborhood and back to El Norte Pkwy. Short stretch over to Woodland Pkwy, then over to Barham Dr. Back toward Escondido, turning right on Meyers Ave to get to Auto Park Way for a short way, turning onto Country Club Dr. Up the little climb and then down into the new neighborhood, riding to Harmony Grove Village Pkwy to get to Harmony Grove Rd. On a whim, I decided to take the bike trail, and it worked out well, emptying us out onto Tulip St. Over to Valley Pkwy and then down to Quince St. Down to 13th Ave and then onto Centre City Pkwy, following the normal way back home from here. I had a decent average speed on this flat route.
Avg speed = 17.1 mph. Total mileage = 31.7 mi
Avg heartrate = 130 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1440'
