Ride with John and Dave from John's house, a long training ride out to Alpine and back. Headed up Scripps-Poway Pkwy and down the 67 to Vigilante/Moreno, which we took over to Willow. Right on Ashwood and over to Mapleview/Lake Jennings Drive. This road changes names several times, but we stayed on it all the way to the intersection at Tavern Rd in Alpine. From the bottom of the 67 grade, it was essentially uphill, with just a few downhill sections and few flats. I felt good throughout the first part of the ride, although it was chilly and it never really warmed up. We re-traced our route to get back, throwing in a 10-mile out and back on El Monte up toward the El Capitan dam. By this time, I was feeling it, not sore, just tired and without much drive in my legs. I gutted my way up the Lakeside grade on the 67, running out of gas near the top. From there, it was mainly downhill, and I cruised, conserving my energy. My new cyclocomputer worked just fine, and its functions are identical to my older one. Dave got a new Garmin Edge cyclocomputer, which is really cool.
