Ride with Dave. I rode from my house over to his house, and we took off north on Pomerado. Over to Highland Valley, then up, up, up to the highest part of the climb. I felt good throughout this part of the ride, with a nice steady pace uphill for the most part. Back downhill to Pomerado, then south all the way to the highest point on Pomerado. The 1-mile climb was, again, not bad at all. I did maintain a steady pace going up this short grade. Back downhill, then right on Scripps-Poway Pkwy and up this hill, all the way to the 67. I was worried about the 1.7-mile climb near the end, but again I was able to stay on a steady pace all the way up, with no real struggles. I think it helped that we had a mild tailwind. Back down to Pomerado, where I was starting to get tired. We took a fairly easy pace back to Dave's house, and I couldn't push it. Rode home from Dave's, again feeling tired but not really sore.
Average speed = 16.5 mph. Total mileage = 53.6 mi.
