Solo ride in the morning after an unexpectedly tough July 4th ride. None of the others wanted to ride, for different reasons. I headed up by Jim's house, just to make sure nobody had showed up, then rode down Duenda to W Bernardo Dr. Over to RB Rd, turning left and getting onto the original time trial route, taking it fairly easy. The gradual climb up to the high school wasn't so bad, but then again I wasn't hammering the pace. Stayed on Espola until Poway Rd, then headed down to Pomerado Rd. Again, steady pace here, getting miles in to build fitness and riding faster now. Matched pace with another rider for a while, then left him behind in a higher-level push. Rode all the way back to W Bernardo Dr and then home the normal way. Legs were tired but not too sore.
Avg speed = 16.8 mph. Total mileage = 20.9 mi
Avg heartrate = 148 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1220'
