Time trial ride with John, Dave, and Jim. At the outset, Jim and I were riding out front, and I put some distance on him on the climb up to Poway HS. The others were farther behind. On the climb up to Poway Rd, I rode steady but not super hard, and Dave caught up with me. He was feeling better and was able to get his heartrate up. We motored as a group down Poway Rd, then Dave and I rode up Sabre Springs Pkwy at about the same pace. I put some distance on the rest going up Ted Williams Pkwy. We gathered up just beyond the light at Twin Peaks, and the others took off before I could join them. They separated enough that I couldn't catch them going up the hill by Pomerado Hospital. On the downhill section, they all took off, and I didn't have enough gas left in the tank to close the gap again. Too much gardening on the day before, I guess. Riding time was about 55:30.
Total mileage = 23.1 mi
Average heartrate = 159 bpm
