10/04/2020 Ride

Well, this was an interesting little day.  I woke up late and noticed that my phone hadn't charged overnight, so I decided to drive to meet Dave and Jim at Dave's house for a morning ride.  When I got there, no Dave.  I looked at my email and saw that he had backed out.  Just then, Jim drove up and said he received a text from Dave saying the same thing.  So we decided to ride from Dave's house anyway, doing his time trial route.  We started off at a moderate pace, hit a lot of lights that lasted a while.  Once we got past Country Club, I pushed my pace more on that little climb and again on the climb up to Deer Springs Pkwy.  I stopped by Jesmond Dene and picked up a nickel as well.  We headed back, and I was taking a more measured pace on the other side of the I-15.  Back on Centre City Pkwy, I picked up the tempo and Jim was riding with me.  Again, lots of lights caught on the way back, but I picked up a dime too.  Seeing I had a shot at breaking 1 hr, I started riding faster at around Grand Ave, and kept a high pace all the way back to Dave's house.  Finished in 59:42.  Because my phone wasn't fully charged, I only tracked the ride on my Fitbit.

Avg speed = 16.8 mph. Total mileage = 16.7 mi

Avg heartrate = 143 bpm

Total elevation gain = 690'
