Ride from John's house with the other three. It was the first ride in awhile where the weather was really pleasant to ride in, even from the start. Headed up to the top of Pomerado Rd, then down to Kearny Villa Rd. On the short climb, I felt good but could tell that my legs and cardio weren't in tiptop shape. Over to Clairemont Mesa Blvd, where we turned left and essentially looped around Montgomery Field, using Santo Rd and Aero Dr. Took Kearny Villa Rd back, then retraced our route back to John's house. Dave and Jim pretty much kept up with me for most of the ride. Jim and I separated from Dave on the return section of Kearny Villa Rd, where Jim took a strong pull and I followed, but Dave waited to long to try and catch up. On the hill back up Pomerado Rd, we all stayed together until the very end, where I stood on my pedals and separated from the others. I really felt winded at the top, but good overall. The ride really didn't tax my system, as I felt good at the end.
