02-06-2021 Ride

Ride up, via Azucar Way, to Jim's house, where I met him and John.  We headed down Duenda Rd to W Bernardo Dr and then over the freeway to Via Rancho Pkwy, using it to get to Felicita Rd, under I-15, and then left onto Redwood St.  Over to 9th Ave, turning left and riding up and over that little hill before heading onto Auto Pkwy to get to Valley Pkwy.  Left here, then a right back onto 9th Ave.  Left on Hale Ave, then right onto Harmony Grove Rd, taking it to get onto Kauana Loa Dr, which was shorter than I remembered and had a steep little section in it.  Right onto Country Club Dr to get back over to Auto Pkwy, then left onto Mission Rd.  This section was fast, John was pushing the pace, and it is gently downhill for quite a while, with just a couple of little bumps to get over.  We turned right onto Buena Creek Rd and took it to Twin Oaks Valley Pkwy.  This climb is gradual for most of it, with a steeper section just at the end before dropping down again.  Similarly for Twin Oaks Valley Pkwy and Deer Springs Rd, where the only tough part near the end is about 0.75 mi long.  Then it was back home via Centre City Pkwy, pretty fast into the city, then I started to slow down a little.  John kept the pace going and I tagged along, including a very fast stretch across I-15.  Was able to keep it above 10 mph on the little climb as well as the stretch up W Bernardo Dr to Duenda Rd.  Finished with smoothies at Jim's house, which were pretty delicious.

Avg speed = 16.4 mph. Total mileage = 39.2 mi
Avg heartrate = 142 bpm
Total elevation gain = 2220'
