Recovery ride

Recovering not from a hard ride but recovering from a bit of a cold. Nothing like biking hard up hills to help in the battle!

Time was short, a big day of working on "the project" is planned but I did get out for a short ride up through La Jolla and Torrey Pines to Mt Soledad this morning. I approached Soledad on Via Capri which subjected me to climbs in excess of 15%. 1783ft of climbing today. That's pretty respectable for such a short ride. As per usual here, the weather is cloudy so the views from the top aren't as nice as they might be. Maybe I should start riding in the afternoons when it's more likely to be clear!











One good thing about riding early in the day however........... a better chance of seeing wildlife!

On the top of Soledad is a very nice memorial to those who've served the country in uniform.



Hopefully more time to ride in the next few days.

  1. Drat, going back through these posts I see that the MapMyRide links no longer work. Just another reason why I now much prefer the Portland, Oregon based RidewithGPS.com
