12-05-2023 Ride
Went for an hour-long walk in the morning, then headed over to the WWC for a swim, 2000 yds following the standard protocol. Finished in about 41 minutes, which was my fastest time for this distance. Then I changed and went to meet Ann at the credit union to discuss retirement account investments and distributions with Brett Everhart. We went out to lunch at Pho Ca Dao, it was pretty good, but I had to let the soup settle in my stomach before going our for an afternoon bike ride. Left home a little before 2:30 and headed through the neighborhood with the vague intention of getting some climbing in. Over to the 4S Ranch neighborhood, where I rode up to the water tower (tough as usual), then back down and over to Camino San Thomas. Up to the top and back there, then up to the top and back down on Four Gee Rd. Took Paseo del Sur to Potomac Ridge Rd, left there and then right onto Nicole Ridge Rd. Down to Wakefield Ln, left there and then a right onto Nicole Ridge Rd until I could see there was no outlet. Over Kennicott Ln to Sinclair St, then up to Edgehill Rd, which eventually connected me to Camino San Bernardo. I took this up to Dove Canyon Rd, then down and over to Carmel Valley Rd. Up the two little climbs there, pushing harder than usual because there was another cyclist behind me. Over to Black Mountain Rd, taking it to Stargaze Ave and heading up this road. It is steep! I was in my lowest gear in the rear but didn't realize until about 2/3 of the way up that I was in my bigger chainring. Switched down and it was easier but still challenging. At the top I turned left onto Laurentian Dr and kept climbing, it is almost as steep but not as long. Got to the top and took a picture with Black Mountain in the background, then I headed back downhill, riding the brakes to keep from getting out of control. Retraced my route back to Dove Canyon Rd and kept going up Bernardo Center Dr. This climb wasn't too bad, I was not pushing hard and had a tailwind to help me along. Got over to W Bernardo Dr and took the normal way home from there. Legs felt good on the climbs, cardio was also okay.
