07-11-2020 Ride

Ride with Jim, John, and Dave from Dave's house, first time riding from that spot in quite a while.  I rode over, taking BVP to the road behind the mall and then the bike path over to El Ku Ave, which turns into Escondido Blvd.  After we met up, we headed over to Centre City Pkwy and took it through town and out to Deer Springs Pkwy.  I am starting to feel a little more comfortable on the gentle climbs that we have been mostly riding.  Over to Buena Creek Rd, then up and down to get to Santa Fe Ave, which turns into Mission Rd.  At that turn, the sun was out and it was beginning to heat up.  That trend continued through the rest of the ride, which took us back to Centre City Pkwy and to Dave's house via Montview Dr.  On the last stretch through town, John realized that he had a chance to complete this route in under 1:40, so he was pushing the pace.  I traded leads with him and gave him some help to complete the goal successfully.  Felt good on this ride, kept my pace above 10 mph on the little climb to the RB Community Park, first time since I've been back.  I think I also kept it above 10 mph on the climb up Aguamiel.

Avg speed = 16.5 mph. Total mileage = 37.6 mi
Avg heartrate = 139 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1860'
