First ride after a couple of weeks off while Ann and I were in Hawaii. Met up with John and Dave and left from my house, heading out to BVP. We turned right on Mary Ln and rode up here, the first time I had gone this way. It wasn't awful, but it was a chore, particularly the first section. Turned left on Summit Dr, which connects into the 78. Headed out Citrus Ave to El Norte Pkwy, all of us staying pretty much together. Up Centre City Pkwy to Mountain Meadows, then left to go back via Twin Oaks Valley Pkwy. Again, all of us were riding together here. Turned right on Borden and headed up behind Palomar College. Left on Las Posas, which we took over to San Marcos Blvd. Down to Bent Ave and over to Craven. We split at this point, with John and Dave heading back and me riding up Twin Oaks Valley Pkwy to meet up with the church group doing a hike. I miscalculated how difficult this last climb was, having never ridden or driven it. It was probably a little over a mile, and it seemed pretty steep. I was pretty wiped out when I got to the top. The hike went well, and it was nowhere near as physically taxing as the bike ride.
