Ride with Joe, starting from his house and heading out Village to Broadway, then over to El Norte Pkwy, which we took up to Valley Pkwy. Headed over to Lake Wohlford Dr, then up this climb. The wind was at our backs, and I averaged about 8 mph going up, which I thought was pretty good. Got to the top and headed back down to meet up with Joe and ride with him back up to the top. Then we continued over to Woods Valley Rd, which we took to Valley Center Rd. Headed east on Valley Center Rd all the way to N Lake Wohlford Rd, which is by the Valley View Casino. The wind was at our backs for this stretch, and we made good time, even though we were going up a slight incline. Headed back to Lake Wohlford and the climb here wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Cruised down the grade, although the wind made the turns tricky. Then we headed back the same way we came. Felt a little tired at the end but not too much. I kept the pace down at times to stay with Joe, so that reduced my output effort level.
Average speed = 16.3 mph. Total mileage = 36.5 mi.
