08-23-2019 Ride

Solo ride after being out late the previous evening seeing Tom Yaar.  Not a lot of sleep.  Route out Ben Zvi and the 44 to the 40, then heading southwest to the 411, taking it southeast.  This road has a general upward slope, getting a little steeper by the Barkan Winery.  I rode out to the last of the climb and turned around before it dropped down to Hwy 3.  Thought it was around 25 miles at the turnaround but my cyclometer malfunctioned and had an extra mile or so on it.  The return on the 411 was fast, with perhaps a slight tailwind and the downhill to help.  Back to the 40, then to the 44, where I didn't feel any help from a tailwind and actually had some headwind as I got closer to home.  It was quite humid and that sapped my energy.  So, all in all, not a fast ride on a relatively flat route.

Avg speed = 16.9 mph. Total mileage = 47.9 mi
Avg heartrate = 142 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1380'
