09-27-2020 Ride

Time trial ride with Dave, Jim, and John.  I didn't originally intend to put a big effort in, but I had a decent little ride up to meet them, so I pushed harder on the initial parts.  I had a good finishing bit to get to the waiting point by the hospital on Pomerado Rd, then all four of us rode together for a while and made decent time.  On the Sabre Springs Pkwy section, my speed and effort weren't maximal, and I was definitely slow by the Post Office.  But when we got to the light at Twin Peaks Rd, I saw that I had a shot for being under an hour, so I pushed hard on the rest of the way, starting with the little climb after the turn and getting lucky in hitting the light by the freeway.  The rest of it was just me putting in more effort than usual, with John helping draft me on W Bernardo Dr after the light at RB Rd.  Finished in 59:21, which I am going to call my fastest time on this route since coming back from Israel.

Avg speed = 17.8 mph. Total mileage = 17.8 mi

Avg heartrate = 148 bpm

Total elevation gain = 1090'
