12-26-2020 Ride

 Ride up to Jim's house via Azucar Way, meeting him and heading over to W Bernardo Dr for the downhill and across the freeway to get to BVP.  We rode up to Sunset Dr, then took it (staying over 10 mph on this little climb) to Juniper St and then to Felicita Rd, to get over to Centre City Pkwy.  All going well at this time, slow pace but nice riding weather after starting out a little bit cool.  We got just past the 78, and I noticed that my rear tire was going flat.  When I got off and looked at it, the tire was worn through to the under-tread in several places, so I decided to cut the ride short and head back toward home after fixing the flat.  To El Norte Pkwy, then over to Broadway to head back  Just past the 78 going the other way, Jim had to stop a flat caused by stickers that he got in his tire when we stopped to fix my flat.  Bummer.  After the repair we continued on into downtown Escondido, turning right onto Grand Ave and riding back to Centre City Pkwy.  We stayed on this road until turning left onto Citracado Pkwy and then using the back way, via Kit Carson Park, to get to BVP.  Took the pedestrian bridge route back across Lake Hodges, then the steady climb back to Duenda Rd on W Bernardo Dr back to Jim's house.  A shortened little ride.

Avg speed = 14.6 mph. Total mileage = 20.4 mi

Avg heartrate = 136 bpm

Total elevation gain = 980'
