Solo ride from home in the morning. I was supposed to ride with Dave, but his knee is flaring up, so he's giving it a rest. Headed through the neighborhood over to RB Rd, then out to Camino del Sur all the way to the 56 bike trail. Felt decent, and it was relatively cool. Down the bike trail, where there were a number of cyclists. Went to El Camino Real and took this all the way to San Dieguito Rd. The initial short climb on this road was tougher than I had remembered, but I kept up a good pace for most of the rest of the climbing section. I was starting to tire in the flats leading over to Fairbanks Ranch, and I was slow on a couple of sections of the climb, particularly near the crest of the last hill. Back via the normal route, taking RB Rd all the way to W Bernardo Dr, then home. Legs were getting tired, even though the climbs were slight. Need more riding to get legs back into shape. Cardio seems in good shape.
