25mi / 1700' - Solo rolling on the road (Altadena-San Marino-So. Pasadena - Rose Bowl). Started at a pretty easy pace, and ramped up the intensity as my body started feeling it. Added the climb from Linda Vista to Sacred Heart (2mi/600'), and felt pretty good. My fitness is off from where I was a few months ago, but that's not surprising considering my weekly volume is down, too.
