Ride over to Dave's house on President's Day morning for a ride. We headed down Pomerado Rd and over the freeway, taking BVP all the way to Citrus Ave. I pushed it pretty hard on the little climbing section of BVP, gaining some separation from Dave. We stayed together for awhile, on El Norte Pkwy and Broadway, as well as the early part of Jesmond Dene Rd. I again pushed the pace on a couple of the climbing sections, the first and last ones in particular. We then headed over to ??, taking it downhill to Buena Creek Rd. I really like this road. It has a couple of small climbs, then a great 2.5 mile downhill section through a nicely wooded area. Turned left on Santa Fe Rd, which turns into Mission Rd. There are a couple of small climbs here, nothing you can't power through. Just past Las Posas Rd, Dave had a flat, so we stopped to fix it. Then we took Mission Rd all the way to Centre City Pkwy. Back to Dave's house the usual way. The wind was working in our favor, particularly on Pomerado Rd, where I felt like I was getting pushed in the back. Back home from Dave's house the normal way. My legs were tired at the end but not sore.
