Solo ride on Mother's Day, getting out early on an overcast, somewhat humid day. Simple route, difficult climb. I rode over to Highland Valley Rd and then took it up to the 67 and back. This was the first time, I think, I rode it with my Wahoo, so I could see the climb grades. Lots of places where the grade was over 10%, some at 13-15%. My Elemnt now has a feature that automatically recognizes climbs and tracks progress on them, pretty cool. The climb up Highland Valley started at the first hill and went all the way to just before the little turnout that I typically stop at (I did on this ride). Brutal as always. The section into the outskirts of Ramona was more gentle rolling than I remembered, and the return climb is really not so bad, but I was worn out to the extent that I couldn't push hard on it. Downhill sections on the return were nice, and I was slow on the last two little hills before home.
