Ride over to Dave's, stopping by Jim's to ride with him. He hadn't been riding in awhile. From Dave's, we rode up Pomerado to Ted Williams Pkwy. I pushed it up this section and tried, throughout the ride, to ride hard on the climbing sections. Got on the 56 bike path and took it all the way to El Camino Real. Rode hard to catch a big group of riders who were ahead of us but riding slower. Up El Camino Real, taking it pretty easy until a couple of riders passed me and I jumped on their wheel. Took this road to San Dieguito Rd and up Three Witches, pushing it fairly hard. After turning onto Camino del Sur, I kept in a higher gear on the uphill, and it really worked out my quads. Stayed on Camino del Norte, with Jim heading home from here. Turned left on Bernardo Center Dr and headed back to Dave's via Lomica/Acena/Callado/Rios. Came back home the normal way, except I turned on W Bernardo Dr, went down the hill, and came back up Aguamiel, turning right on Aguacate and Creciente to try to get to 40 miles. Didn't quite make it. This ride definitely qualified as one with rolling hills. It seemed like we were either going uphill or downhill the entire ride.
