02-20-2021 Ride

Ride from home with John and Jim, heading out to BVP the normal way and taking it up to Valley Pkwy.  I was riding at a steady pace, not screaming but putting in some effort.  We turned onto Lake Wohlford Rd and rode up to the village.  I was slower on the climb, plodding in my pace.  When I got to the top, I turned around and rode down to where John was, then rode back before turning around again and riding back to Jim.  We continued around the lake and eventually back to Valley Center Rd.  Unlike the last time we rode here, the wind was not favorable, so it was more of an effort to keep a decent pace.  I got out ahead of the others on the climb up to the top of Valley Center Rd grade (stayed above 10 mph but it was an effort), then sped down the grade.  Waited for them at the bottom, then we continued back the way we came.  I kept up a pretty good pace during this ride, didn't feel worn out during the ride.  Above 10 mph on the last two little climbs as well.

Avg speed = 16.5 mph. Total mileage = 38.6 mi
Avg heartrate = 141 bpm
Total elevation gain = 2540'
