Rode over, going by work and via Carmel Mountain Rd, to the Park n Ride by Ted Williams and Sabre Springs Pkwy. I got a little bit of a late start, so I pushed the pace for most of the ride over. There, I met up with John, Dave, Jim, and Blair. We headed via the 56 bike trail down to El Camino Real, generally not riding super fast. Then we headed over to the coast and headed north on the 101 through Del Mar and to Via de la Valle. John was riding pretty well on the climbs. Took this road back to El Camino Real, then over to San Dieguito Rd. Blair had never been on this stretch of the road. On the Three Witches climb, I was able to keep it above 10 mph for all three climbing stretches, although it was an effort on the last one. We gathered together at the turn onto Camino del Sur. Blair was feeling it by this time, so he was slowing down. Back via Camino del Norte to Carmel Mountain Rd, then back to the starting point via Rancho Carmel Dr. I felt good enough at the end to ride back home, taking the route by the high school and through RB. No leg soreness, my average speed was pretty slow for this ride, although I felt like I put in a good effort on the climbing sections.
Avg speed = 15.0 mph. Total mileage = 46.7 mi
Avg heartrate = 137 bpm
Total elevation gain = 3220'
