Ride from home over to Dave's house, where I met up with him, John, and Jim. We headed up Pomerado Rd to Camino del Norte, then took Bernardo Center Dr to Carmel Valley Rd. Followed this road to Del Mar Heights Rd, where we turned right and rode over to Carmel Canyon Rd. which we took over to Carmel Country Rd and onto the 56 bike path. Followed this all the way to El Camino Real, where we headed north. Throughout the ride, the roads were still really wet from the recent heavy rains, but it started to dry up a little at this point. I was riding pretty slowly, keeping in mind that I hadn't been on a bike for nearly three weeks. Headed over to San Dieguito Rd, which we took back to Camino del Sur. The Three Witches climb was slow but I was able to keep up with Dave, which was a surprise. Interestingly, I felt pretty good in the latter half of this ride. Headed back to Dave's house via RB Rd, then back home using the normal route. Although I was slow on the ride, I felt good at the end. Cardio is out of shape, but my muscles were in pretty fair condition.
