11-03-2023 Ride

Got up early and went for a walk while it was still pretty dark, listening to podcasts about the situation in Israel and the recent Catholic Church Synod of Bishops.  Then I took a morning ride to establish a more frequent riding cadence for the last two months of the year.  It was pretty chilly, and I couldn't find my primary gloves or headwear, which was a bummer.  Headed through the neighborhood to Matinal Rd and then over to W Bernardo Dr, where I joined the reverse time trial route.  Was maintaining a steady pace but not pushing it too much.  Morning traffic was heavy, which caused me to hit a lot of lights.  I continued on Sabre Springs Pkwy past Poway Rd, then got over to Poway Rd via Springhurst Dr.  Down to Oak Knoll Rd, using it to get to Pomerado Rd, where I turned left.  I felt like I had a decent stretch here, taking it all the way down to W Bernardo Dr and the normal climbs back to the house.  Any time I was near water, it was definitely colder.

Avg speed = 16.6 mph. Total mileage = 20.3 mi
Avg power = 150 W. Weighted avg power = 175 W
Total elevation gain = 1200'
Avg heartrate = 128 bpm
