05-20-2024 Ride

Got up and set off for an early ride, generally easy pace. Headed down by the park, then up Pomerado Rd all the way to Stonebridge Pkwy. I took the climbing section from Scripps-Poway Pkwy at a lower power level, aiming to stay in Zone 3 heartbeat but not entirely successful. The climb is just too long. It was easier on the little climbs back to Pomerado Rd. Without trying, I set a PR on the return route on Stonebridge Pkwy (11:25), where I turned right and took it all the way back to RB Rd, staying mostly in Zone 2, according to my heartrate. Home via Bernardo Center Dr to Duenda Rd, turning right on W Bernardo Dr and riding down to Aguamiel Rd before turning and heading to the house. Nothing really special about this ride, but it packs a fair amount of elevation into a short distance.

Avg speed = 15.4 mph. Total mileage = 28.3 mi
Avg power = 142 W. Weighted avg power = 170 W
Total elevation gain = 2230'
Avg heartrate = 116 bpm (Coospo), 126 bpm (Fitbit)

When I got back, I had a bowl of oatmeal, then went out into the backyard to work on laying down the ground cloth in the second bed. Ann was back there as well, weeding. I got most of it done, just a couple of oddly shaped areas to cover and then trimming the edges and driving down the stakes. I had some lunch after finishing, then started rewatching Dune Part 1. After dinner, I went out in the backyard and had another session of finishing the tricky parts of laying down the ground cover (successful), then weeding the third bed for a little bit. I continued watching the movie but didn't finish it before I went to bed.
