Ride from home to Dave's house, taking the route behind the back of the mall. Met up with him and John, and we rode the time trial route that they have been riding. Starts from Dave's house, goes through the neighborhood to Montview and then onto Centre City Pkwy, with a U-turn to head north. We rode through town and only caught a couple of lights. I was already warmed up, but John and Dave took a while to get moving. Out and up to Deer Springs Rd, where we crossed over the freeway and headed back south on Mesa Rock Rd, reconnecting with Centre City Pkwy. I waited at the stop sign and let Dave and John pass me at speed, then had to work hard to catch back up to them on the little climb before we started the downhill run into Escondido. My legs were feeling it from the earlier climbing push, so I couldn't go all out for very long. We traded leads into Escondido, then seemed to hit about every stop light. I would ride out ahead of the others and then have to slow down for a light. John was working to keep up with my pace. Finished the time trial section in about 56:00 flat, then had a smoothie at Dave's place before heading home. I tried to keep up a decent pace on the way back and was able to keep it above 10 mph on the two little climbs.
Avg speed = 17.7 mph. Total mileage = 27.2 mi
Avg heartrate = 146 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1440'
