Solo ride on Christmas Eve morning, getting a little bit of a late start. It was overcast and at times I felt a droplet or two, but in general weather was good for riding. I headed over the freeway and up BVP, not fully committed to where I was going. Headed out to E Valley Pkwy and toward Valley Center, thinking I would turn around before the climb. But I talked myself into it and made it up the 3 mi steady incline, slow but not struggling that much. Out past Lilac Rd turnoff for another mile or so before turning around and heading back. On the little climb back up to the top of the VC grade, I kept it above 10 mph, a decent little effort. The ride down was fast, almost 50 mph at max. And even beyond, maybe due to a little bit of a tailwind, I made good time all the way back, retracing my route. This was a nice little ride.
Avg speed = 16.7 mph. Total mileage = 30.8 mi
Avg heartrate = 147 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1900'
