Ride from home over to Dave's house, where we headed up Pomerado Rd to Scripps-Poway Pkwy. On the Pomerado section, as well as the first part of the next climb, Dave stayed with me, but he couldn't sustain it, and I pulled away. I waited for him at the top of the climb, then we rode together to the big climb, where I outpaced him (but not by a whole lot). Headed north on the 67, and I was feeling strong, able to keep a steady cadence on the climbs in this section. The downhill into Ramona was fast and fun, then we looped around an through downtown before heading back via Highland Valley Rd. I turned my pace down a little at this point, and we stayed together for the most part until the latter part of the climb to the summit on this road. The ride down was fast, and the weather was really nice here. After getting to the flats, I was starting to be tired. The ride back up Pomerado Rd was slow initially, but I felt a little better toward the end, with enough to put in a burst of energy near the finish to his house. All in all, this was a good ride for me, and I felt good throughout and afterward.
