The ride was AWESOME. Temp was nice (high 60s, low 70s), some wind but not too bad, nice and sunny... you know, typical SoCal weather.

Oddly enough, I was flying home trying to drop some wheel sucker (finally succeeded... yeah, take that skinny guy) and got my HR well over 170 for about 5 min straight. I don't frequently get that unless I'm going up a steep hill. Working hard for me on a flat is usually in the 160-165 range and 170 is usually an indicator of imminent blow up.
