05-29-2017 Ride

Ride with David Thompson and Jim Garrett on Memorial Day.  David and Christine were visiting from Reno, and I fitted out my old bike to ride for me, with David riding the new one.  We headed over the pedestrian bridge to BVP, and I kept an intentionally slower pace to stay with the others.  Up BVP to the 78 and then to Citrus Ave, taking it down to the trail that runs along the concrete river channel going through town.  At Velley Pkwy we stopped at a CVS so that David could buy a knee brace.  We rode down this trail to see the stretch that Escondido FUMC plans to adopt between Midway and Rose, it's not in terrible shape but it can definitely use some beautification.  Over to Broadway, then turning to ride to El Norte Pkwy.  We turned left here and kept on it until it turned into Borden Rd and out to Mulberry Dr to get over to Mission Rd.  At Woodland Pkwy, we rode over to the rail trail and got on it, taking it all the way to Quince St.  From there to 13th Ave and onto Centre City Pkwy.  Rode to Citracado Pkwy and then turned to get onto Escondido Blvd and El Ku Ave to connect with the bike trail in Kit Carson Park.  This time, we took it all the way back to BVP, then retraced our earlier route back home.  The old bike was kinda uncomfortable but behaved well enough.

Avg speed = 13.5 mph. Total mileage = 29.5 mi

05-27-2017 Ride

Ride from my house with John, heading over the freeway and getting onto Via Rancho Pkwy, taking it over to Del Dios Hwy and down toward Rancho Santa Fe,  Turned onto El Camino del Norte and rode over to Rancho Santa Fe Rd, where we turned left for a change and rode to La Bajada, up part of that short little climb, then turned right onto La Noria, which I'd never ridden.  This turns into El Camino Real, and we stayed on it until turning left onto La Orilla to get over to Rambla de los Flores, where we turned right.  This road has a little bit of a climb to it, kinda steep just before we got to Linea del Cielo, where we jogged over to Calzada del Bosque.  Down and over to Via de Santa Fe to El Apajo and then left onto San Dieguito Rd.  Up this climb, where I felt pretty good on the second half and probably benefited from a tailwind.  Back home the normal way via RB Rd to W Bernardo Dr.  It wasn't a super fast ride for me, but I felt like my cycling form was in decent shape.

Avg speed = 16.7 mph. Total mileage = 34.0 mi
Total elevation gain = 2600'

05-20-2017 Ride

Posted long after this ride.  This looks like it happened while we were up in Julian for a Spring church fellowship camp at Camp Cedar Glen.  I rode down to Farmer Rd and turned left onto Wynola Rd, which took me over to Banner Rd and the climb back up into downtown Julian.  Continued on the 78 down to Pine Hills Rd, where I turned and rode over to Eagle Peak Rd, veering off to the left there.  Stayed on that road until another veer off to the left onto Boulder Creek Rd, which took me to Engineers Rd.  This started the 5-mile climb to the top, tough as usual.  Dropped down to the 79, which I used to ride back into downtown Julian, and back to the camp via Main St to Farmer Rd.  I'm sure this was an adventure, a lot of climbing in 30 miles.

Avg speed = 14.1 mph. Total mileage = 29.9 mi

Total elevation gain = 3000'
