08-12-2021 Ride

Ride with Justin, Robert, and Blair after work, start was a little delayed because of work stuff. We headed out from the back parking lot to W Bernardo Dr and down toward RB Rd.  By the Park n Ride, there was a guy with a mountain bike and a flat tire, so I decided to help him out and told the others to keep riding.  The guy was a little weird, but I pumped up his tire for him and gave him a shot to get to where he needed to go (Escondido).  Then I turned on RB Rd and caught up with the others at the Bernardo Center Dr intersection.  After we continued, it was just a little bit, and Justin had a mechanical, so we had another delay.  Continuing on, we rode up RB Rd until we needed to stop again for another derailleur adjustment for Justin.  By this time, I was behind on schedule and concerned I wouldn't be back for a 6:00 phone call.  So I rode with them up to the top of the hill on Espola Rd, then turned around and headed back from there.  Turned left on Acena Dr and over to Lomica Dr to get to Bernardo Center Dr, which I took to climb back to the parking lot starting spot.  Turns out I could have stayed with the others, as they got back just before 6:00.

Avg speed = 14 mph. Total mileage = 12 mi
Avg heartrate = 133 bpm
Total elevation gain = 650'
