02-26-2017 Ride

Stationary bike ride in the  morning before church, it was raining outside.  Watched a Netflix show, Travelers.  Put in a better cardio effort on this workout than the last time on the stationary bike.  But it was a workout, and I was sweating up a storm.  Standard classic hill-climbing routine.

02-25-2017 Ride

Rode up to Jim's house, then caught a ride with him over to John's house.  I hadn't ridden in a couple of weeks and didn't want to overdo it.  It was chilly at the start, particularly during the ride downhill.  We all headed down to Poway Rd and then over to the 56 bike trail.  Took it down to El Camino Real and then over to the coast highway via Carmel Valley Rd.  Over and up Torrey Pines, slow going for me but I was able to keep my pace above 8 mph.  Waited for the others at the top, then we headed over to Genesee Rd to get to Eastgate Mall and Miramar Rd.  Jim was starting to slow down, but John and I kept a faster pace until we got to the bottom of the climb up Pomerado Rd.  Then I slowed down and rode with Jim for awhile until the last little ascent.  Back to John's house the normal way.  Felt fine at the end, no muscle cramping.

02-05-2017 Ride

Time trial ride with John and Jim, meeting Jim at his house.  I decided to treat it as a "true" time trial and push my pace throughout the ride.  Good stretches of riding on the gradual climb on Pomerado Rd and down to Poway Rd, as well as on the Poway Rd stretch (not going all out here).  I worked hard on the Sabre Springs Pkwy section, but I slowed down toward the ends of the little climbs, just not enough endurance to keep up a fast pace for extended periods of time.  The latter part of the ride, from Rancho Carmel Dr onward, was a chore for me to push through my tired legs and gut out giving it my best effort.  Finished in 1:01:25, giving me hope that, with some additional fitness training, I can once again break the hour barrier.  That's a near-term goal for me to target.

Total mileage = 17.9 mi
Avg heartrate = 148 bpm

02-04-2017 Ride

Ride with John from home over to the Park & Ride by the mall, taking the freeway.  It was overcast, but there was some blue in the sky.  Temperature cool but not cold.  We met up with Joe and continued on Beethoven Dr to BVP, then headed over to San Pasqual Rd to get into the valley.  I kept my pace dialed back a little bit but still got out in front of the others.  Over Old Milky Way to get to the 78, which we took out to Bandy Canyon Rd.  This stretch of road was crowded with cars and a little sketchy.  Slow and steady up the climb on Bandy Canyon Rd, not feeling like I was dying but not fast either.  Over to Highland Valley Rd, taking it down and across to Pomerado Rd.  Joe headed back at this point, while we turned south and continued the ride.  Up to Ted Williams Pkwy and over to Rancho Carmel Dr.  Rode to Carmel Mountain Rd and turned right, and from here we followed the Sunday time trial route, although not quite as fast.  Felt good at the end.

Avg speed = 16.1 mph. Total mileage = 34.5 mi
