12-17-2024 Ride

I had trouble sleeping in the night, probably too much iced tea at lunch the previous day. Woke up (<>) and had a little breakfast, took it leisurely. I waited until it had warmed up somewhat, then I went out in the garage, changed my front tire, which was worn through, and went for a bike ride. Through the neighborhood a different way to W Bernardo Dr, then I rode up to the HP site and over to Camino del Norte. I was interested in getting miles in, not in speed on this day. Over to Carmel Mountain Rd, using it to get to Rancho Carmel Dr and taking this road to Sabre Springs Pkwy and thus to the bike path along Poway Rd. I took it up to Scripps-Poway Pkwy and turned right to get on Mercy Rd, riding over to Black Mountain Rd. Stayed on this road until Kearny Villa Rd, taking it to Miramar Rd, where I turned left. Then it was the climb up to the top of Pomerado Rd, riding down the hill and eventually turning right on Metate Ln. Over to Community Rd, turning left and heading to Twin Peaks Rd, where I took a right. I rode up to Espola Rd and turned left there, taking the climb fairly slowly but doing pretty well on the long gradual downhill run back into RB. All the way to W Bernardo Dr, then home the normal way from there.

Avg speed = 15.1 mph. Total mileage = 32.1 mi
Avg speed (calculated by my analysis program)  = 15.3 mph
Avg power = 122 W. Weighted avg power = 150 W
Total elevation gain = 2010'
Avg heartrate = 116 bpm (Coospo)
Relative Effort = 37
Training Load = 99
Intensity = 66%

Got home after noon, had some lunch, and Ann had baked chocolate kiss cookies, which were delicious as always. I was tired from not enough sleep, so I had a little nap after lunch, then Ann and I drove over to Kelly's Pub and played shuffleboard for a while. I was able to play the slant on the table better than she was. We got home around 5:00 and had another quiet evening at home. I did change out the rear tire on my bike with a new one, so I have a matched set again.
