02-09-2024 Ride

Went for an hourlong walk in the morning, wore my rain jacket but only got sprinkled on a couple of times.  Then I started packing up my stuff for the weekend trip and helped Ann make the Quiche Lorraine that we will bring to the party on Saturday evening.  We left around 11:50 to get up to Palm Springs, stopped in Escondido to get gas as well.  Waze had us going up the 215 to the 60, which probably wasn't the best option traffic-wise.  Maybe it was better for driving in the rain, and we got some showers on the way there.  Arrived around 2:15 in PS, the AirBnB was nice but not as spectacular inside at last year's place.  This one had a very nice backyard, with a warmed pool and a hot tub.  The others arrived not too long afterward.  Once I got there, I put on my bike stuff and went for a ride into downtown Palm Springs, just to limber up the legs.  The weather held, cloudy but no rain.  We were staying at 3071 North Farrell Drive while in Palm Springs.

Avg speed = 16.3 mph. Total mileage = 8.2 mi
Avg power = 150 W. Weighted avg power = 158 W
Total elevation gain = 120'
Avg heartrate = 109 bpm

We had a potluck dinner, with us making enchiladas, Rob making nachos, and Leslie making pesto gnocchi.  So it was a carbfest.  Ann and I went in the hot tub for a while, then swam around the pool as well, and finally back into the hot tub before getting out.
