12-01-2024 Ride

Woke up and hung around the house while Laura and Joe got ready to drive up to LA to see some of Laura's university friends. As soon as they left, I went for a bike ride, a little faster pace where I tried to keep pedaling throughout, including on the downhill sections. I headed through the neighborhood and then on the extended route through the 4S Ranch neighborhood to get to Camino del Sur, turning right and staying on it until I turned right onto Carmel Valley Rd. I took it down to the 56 bike path and started heading back. On the ride up the bike path, there were a bunch of kids and parents on bikes coming the other way, probably training for the ride out on the old stagecoach route. I rode up to Camino del Sur and turned there, using it to get back to Carmel Valley Rd, where I turned right and headed up the hill toward Black Mountain Rd. Rode over to Dove Canyon Rd, where I turned left and took that climb to get over to RB Rd, and from there it was home the normal way via W Bernardo Dr. Felt pretty good at the end, even after having pedaled almost the entire way.

Avg speed = 17.1 mph. Total mileage = 27.1 mi
Avg speed (calculated by my analysis program)  = 17.2 mph
Avg power = 147 W. Weighted avg power = 173 W
Total elevation gain = 1710'
Avg heartrate = 122 bpm
Relative Effort = 36
Training Load = 106
Intensity = 80%

Ann was at church when I got home, so I had some lunch and watched a little TV, then got caught up on the list of notable activities I/we did in 2024. The rest of the day was pretty quiet, which was nice from having entertained Laura and Joe the past few days.
