Ride leaving at 6:30 from home with Dave and John. I needed to be down by Torrey Pines for a morning hike with the church group. We headed over to Via Rancho Pkwy and to Del Dios Hwy, then down to Rancho Santa Fe and through, following the roads (Linea del Cielo and Lomas Santa Fe) all the way to the coast, where we headed south on the 101. Then down to Torrey Pines, where we took the inside route up, resting at the top of the climb by the lodge. We finished up the ride together at the exit back onto Torrey Pines Rd, where Dave and John headed back to my house and I rode a little further down the road, not knowing where to meet up with Ann and the others. We finally met up at the parking lot by the golf course. It was probably a mixture of my feeling good and the others holding back to conserve their strength, but I was out ahead for most of this ride, particularly on any sections with even modest uphill grades.
