10-18-09 Ride

Ride from home over to Dave's house for the time trial loop. It was misty on the way over, and Jim called to say he wasn't riding. Dave had about 50 lb of weights on his bike! I started out slow to allow him to warm up, then rode at a moderately fast pace up to the top of Espola. Then we really flew down Poway Rd, with Dave setting a mean pace and us catching every light. Got to the Ted Williams Pkwy turn and thought I wouldn't have a chance for a new PB. Still, I really pushed it up that road, then went at a fast clip up and down Pomerado, where Dave kept right there with me and helped push the pace. Finished in 52:37, a new PB by 1 sec.

Total mileage = 23.1 mi
Total elevation gain = 820'
