10-29-2023 Ride

Time trial route with Dave, who showed up about 15 minutes late for the ride from our house.  I used my old bike, since I suspected a slow leak in the rear tire of my new one (later confirmed).  We rode fairly fast, Dave is starting to get stronger.  A little slower on the gradual uphill on Pomerado Rd, and Dave shared some of his recent counseling sessions, including some breakthroughs about acknowledging his feelings rather than hiding them.  I could feel it in my legs on this ride, particularly toward the end, so I slowed down then.  Finished in about 1:08.

Avg speed = 15.5 mph. Total mileage =17.6 mi

Avg power = 136 W. Weighted avg power = 162 W

Total elevation gain = 1060'

Avg heartrate = 127 bpm

We went, with Emily, to San Dieguito UMC to hear Faith Conklin preach, it was pretty good.  Jan Baer and Bev Couty were there as well, and after church we decided to go to lunch and invite them.  However, Jan couldn't get her car started, and I was unable to help her out.  She tried to get her car towed but balked at the cost.  Eventually, Bev talked her into leaving the car in the parking lot until Monday and getting a better response from her insurance company about how to get it towed to an auto repair shop.  So we ended up going to brunch with them, then driving them both back to Escondido.

Later in the afternoon, I went for a walk for 2 miles while Ann was at a concert with Kay at the Oasis center in RB.  Talked to Laura as well, and she is still working through some colleague animosity issues at Sandia.
