Ride on Saturday morning with John and Dave, from John's house. Headed up to Pomerado the usual way, then down to Miramar Rd. By the base, I discovered a slow leak in my back tire, so I replaced the tube. We continued down to Genesee and turned left. This road was challenging for me, with several medium climbs and a longer gradual climb up to Linda Vista. Right here, then a left on Ulric, which took us down to Friars Rd. We turned left and headed over to Qualcomm Stadium. On the way there, Dave hit a set of keys in the roadway and got a flat. John thought they were his keys but missing his car keys, so we looked for the keys on up the road while Dave changed the flat. Turned out they weren't his keys. Hilarious! Dave's first inner tube broke at the valve stem, so he had to change it out. After the second fix, we headed on Friars Rd over to Mission Village Dr, which has a steep section right after the turn that isn't as long as I thought it would be. Took this road up to Ruffin Rd, where we turned right and headed over to Aero Dr, another right, then a left back onto Ruffin Rd, where there was another small hill. Past this hill, I hit a pothole in the road and got another flat. Crap! Fixed it, but I was wearing out by this time. We stayed on Ruffin/Kearny Villa back to Miramar Rd, then headed up Pomerado back to John's house. I was pretty tired by this time, so I took it easy up this section. Even still, my legs were working well, just not a lot of drive in them. No soreness or cramping.
