The ride was yesterday. Thankfully it was a beautiful day in the low 70's. The ride left from Cuyamaca College. It took me till a little after 12, with 3 rest stops, 1 stop to aid another cyclist and later a flat tire of my own. Overall my average speed was 13.1 mph which was passable. I was once again able to show the value of riding a triple (haven't tried one of the new compact doubles). To put it in comparison my 13.1 average speed was .8 mph slower then I did in 2005, when it was in the 90's and there were issues with heat. But that takes care of next year and next year (unless they move the location) I'll just have to do better.
BTW, the best part of the ride actually came after I finished. I ran into someone who I had suggested try out the ride. He had done the 30 mile route and had a great time.
