04-17-2021 Ride

Drove with Jim to Alpine, the Rite Aid parking lot, where we met John for a ride up to Guatay and back.  We stayed on Alpine Blvd through the town and out to E Willow Rd, where we got on I-8 and rode on the shoulder out to the 79.  Rode to Descanso Junction and stayed straight, on Old Hwy 80, taking it to Guatay.  The ride out was nearly all climbing but never super steep, just a steady grade.  That made the ride back fast and fun.  On the way back we looped through Descanso before retracing the rest of the route.  I felt fine on the ride, stopping every few miles on the climb to wait for John and Jim.  I pushed the pace on the way back, trading leads at times with John and not settling for coasting all the way back.

Avg speed = 15.2 mph. Total mileage = 31.4 mi
Avg heartrate = 133 bpm
Total elevation gain = 2960'
