Yesterday, I spent two hours at the gym doing a complete body workout. I stopped in La Costa to work out at Equinox on my way to SD to break up the drive and work out some of the kinks that driving for hours develops.

Today, I did an old route in SD from back in the day. However, there is a brand spanking new bike path that runs parallel to Highway 5 and allows one to easily connect between Pacific Beach and UCSD. That is a yay!!! I rode through UCSD and then out along the coast. It was still hot even along the coast. The heat must be due to all of @Cleave 's dirt moving at his new house sending up more particulate dust into the atmosphere and changing the reflection of the sun's rays. Or something like that.

I rode 1.5 hours of mostly tempo with a hard effort up Torrey Pines hill. One thing I find hilarious is that I can generate so much more average speed since the terrain is generally flatter and I have a higher average power - less climbing and descending than NorCal.
