06-30-2024 Ride

Got up fairly early for a bike ride, getting in some miles before meeting Jim at his house at 7:00. I rode down the hill and then back up W Bernardo Dr to RB Rd, then up that little climb to Via del Campo, where I turned left. That road is in terrible shape. I took it back over to W Bernardo Dr, then down to Bernardo Center Dr. I rode this down the hill to Dove Canyon Rd and turned right there. Up to Dove Creek Rd, where I turned left and rode over to 4S Ranch Pkwy. To Camino del Norte, turning right there and taking it up to Camino San Bernardo. Left there and over to RB Rd, which I took until turning onto Matinal Rd to ride through the neighborhood to Cabela Dr. Then to Luz Pl and to Duenda Rd. I rode to the end of Corazon Pl before meeting Jim at his house, then we rode the time trial route, mostly. He was slow and I just rode with him and chatted about how things are going. At Ted Williams Pkwy, he had to stop and rest for a while, then he was good to go for the remainder. I showed him the shortcut using Ave of Science and through the parking lot to get more quickly to Camino del Norte, then we were back on the time trial route. I forgot to wear my chest HR band so only have the Fitbit data below.

Avg speed = 13.7 mph. Total mileage = 26.7 mi
Avg power = 106 W. Weighted avg power = 135 W
Total elevation gain = 1720'
Avg heartrate = 121 bpm (Fitbit)

Back home and a quick shower before we drove to church to hear Emily's solo in a chancel choir piece. The piece was not great, but she was fantastic, hitting some really high notes. It was nice to see a lot of familiar faces, I talked at length with Sandi Baxter about Jack's passing. Then we headed home (stopped for fruit at Sprout's) and had a quiet afternoon. I took a nap, read a little bit. Later in the afternoon, I trimmed the big shrub on the west side of our front yard, probably my least favorite yardwork task. It took almost an hour and a half, but it looks better now and I hope it doesn't need trimming for another year. Then I watched some TV and did some Python coding to automate the generation of a CSV file containing all the power curve data created from my main analysis program. The program now works fine.
