03-12-2023 Ride

Solo ride over to Robert's place, taking the time trial route over to Bernardo Center Dr, then turning right to get up to Bernardo Heights Pkwy.  This little climb warmed me up, turned right on Paseo Lucido and then another right onto Corte Sabio to get to his condo complex.  From there, we headed back to Bernardo Heights Pkwy and took it down to Pomerado Rd, turning left there and riding to RB Rd.  Up Espola Rd to the high school, then down the hill and back up to Poway Rd.  This little climb is always challenging.  We took Poway Rd all the way down to Springhurst Dr, turning left there and climbing up to Springbrook Dr.  Left there, continuing on Angelique St up this short, steep little section to Cypress Canyon Park Dr, then up to the top of Pomerado Rd.  Up to this point, we hadn't seen any rain, just wet, dirty roads.  Down into Mira Mesa on Miramar Rd, taking it over to Camino Ruiz and turning right.  I had forgotten that this road dips and then climbs back up, but the climb wasn't too bad.  Steeper at the beginning, then it is shallow up to Mira Mesa Blvd.  We stopped there for a short food break before turning right and getting over to the bike path that parallels the freeway.  This section of the ride had a little mist to deal with, but it didn't last long.  On the little climb up to Sabre Springs Pkwy, Rob hit something in the road and got a flat, so we repaired it fairly quickly.  Then we followed the time trial route over to Carmel Mountain Rd, turning left there and staying on Paseo Lucido after the light.  Left on Calle Saucillo, then right on Avenida Alcachofa, which has a very short little climb that was painful to ride through before we got back to Rob's place.  Streets were starting to dry off by this point.  I retraced my route back home and felt pretty good at the end.  More climbing on this ride than usual, which slowed my average speed down but caused my weighted average power to be pretty high.

Avg speed = 15.7 mph. Total mileage = 38.5 mi
Avg power = 165 W. Weighted avg power = 193 W
Total elevation gain = 2940'
Avg heartrate = 128 bpm
