Ride, starting from the parking lot by Carmel Mountain Ranch, over to John's house via Rancho Carmel Dr/Sabre Springs Pkwy to Poway Rd, then up Springbrook to his place. Met up with him and Dave, and we headed down to Poway Rd and over to the 56 bike trail. I was taking it fairly easy, knowing that the big ride was coming up on Monday. We went down to El Camino Real, heading south to connect to Vista Sorrento Pkwy and over to Carroll Canyon Rd/Carroll Rd. This is probably the easiest way to get back up out of Sorrento Valley onto Mira Mesa. Connected to Miramar Rd, which needs a serious repaving. Uphill on Pomerado Rd, again keeping the pace fairly manageable. Back to John's place, going all the way down Springhurst to get a couple of extra miles in, then up again on Springbrook. I had a good pace here. Went back using Sabre Springs Pkwy and staying off the gas. Even still, I was making good time on the slight uphill sections. Finished feeling that I hadn't really taxed my legs.
