1-31-09 Ride

Ride with Dave and John from John's house out to Scripps-Poway Pkwy and up to the 67. It was cool at the start but not cold. Going down the 67 toward Lakeside, I lost a glove, but John saw it and retrieved it. Around Vigilante/Moreno to Willow, then a short stretch back on the 67 to the Lakeside Ave turnoff, where we followed Lakeside and Riverside to El Nopal, then over to Mast via Los Ranchitos. Out Mast until we connected over to Mission Gorge, which we took all the way over to Qualcomm Stadium. The climb up Mission Gorge wasn't bad at all. Riding north on Mission Village Dr by the stadium was really steep, particularly at the start. It was short but pretty tough. Turned on Ruffin, and followed this road to Aero Dr, then back on to Ruffin, which we took all the way back to Miramar Rd. Up Pomerado to the crest, then back via Cypress Canyon Park Dr and Angelique. Somewher on Kearny Mesa, I think I got a slow leak in my front tire, and it was getting pretty low by the top of Pomerado. Was able to make it back to John's house.
Average speed = 17.1 mph. Total mileage = 44 mi.
