Solo ride from home. Tried to connect with Dave, but he didn't respond. Out to Via Rancho Pkwy, then over to Del Dios and down to Via de la Valle. Took this down to Camino del Mar and through Del Mar down to the coast. Saw Kevin Miller riding with the Team in Training at the base of Torrey Pines, going the other way. Went up the inside route, and I was blowing hard, but I kept it pretty much at or above 7 mph. Lots of walkers. Got to the top of the hill, and the sun started to come out from the morning fog. Back the usual way to Pomerada and Scripps-Poway Pkwy, where I turned right and headed up, slower than usual. Rode to the base of the big climb, then headed over Sycamore Canyon to Garden Rd, which connects to Poway Rd. Down to Community, then over to Twin Peaks, which I used to connect to Pomerado. All the way down Pomerado and home by the park route. Felt good throughout the ride, although my quads were really screaming at the end, when I really pushed it up the final small hill on Aguamiel.
