Ride over, starting from home around 12:20, to meet Avinoam Halpern at the Shell station on Via Rancho Pkwy. We rode behind the mall over to BVP, then took it to San Pasqual Rd to get into the valley. The first part of the ride was fairly casual for me, then I picked up the pace starting with the downhill and continuing on Old Milky Way, where Avi was riding along. Fairly fast on the 78 stretch, not all out but fairly close to it for me. We were helped by a tailwind, which started working against us after we turned onto Bandy Canyon Rd. I slowed down on this part, and my climb out of the valley was not my strongest. I got to the top and turned around to meet Avi and ride back up the last bit. Over to Highland Valley Rd, taking the downhill section pretty fast, but I was slow on the flats to get to Pomerado Rd, due to a headwind, tiredness, and the heat. The ride over the freeway was super fast, here the wind was helping again. From there, I headed back home the normal way after saying goodbye to Avi. Above 10 mph on the last two little climbs, although I was slow back across the freeway.
Avg speed = 16.6 mph. Total mileage = 24.4 mi
Avg heartrate = 128 bpm (with stops)
Total elevation gain = 1350'
