Solo ride over to Dave's house, using the back way behind the mall. I met up with him, John, and Jim, and we rode the so-called Marathon route, heading up Center City Pkwy all the way to Deer Springs Rd, turning left there and riding over Twin Oaks Valley Pkwy to Buena Creek Rd. I pushed the pace and felt pretty good on the climbing sections up to Deer Springs, and I also pushed it on the downhill section to get to Santa Fe Ave. Over to Mission Rd, taking it back into Escondido. Dave and Jim were slowing down by this point, but John was keeping up on the flats and trading leads. Back to Centre City Pkwy, then to Dave's house, where he showed us his new Motobecane carbon fiber bike, with disc brakes and electronic shifting. Nice looking bike. I headed home the normal way from there, keeping it about 10 mph on the last two little climbs.
Avg speed = 16.6 mph. Total mileage = 36.5 mi
Avg heartrate = 116 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1800'
