Time trial loop, riding from home and meeting up with Jim and Dave. I was surprised to see Jim, but also happy, since I wasn't keen on riding a fast pace. So I didn't, preferring to keep with Dave and slowing down when I got out ahead of him and Jim. Dave had hurt his knee swimming, and that probably slowed him down somewhat. I took it easy up the little grade to Poway Rd, getting near the top with lots left in the tank, which is an unusual occurrence. Again, I didn't push the pace on either Poway Rd or Sabre Springs Pkwy, just riding at a comfortable clip. Same thing on Ted Williams Pkwy, where Dave and I rode together. We kept a similar pace on Pomerado Rd, with Jim staying pretty much up with us and leading out on the downhill section. I didn't feel anywhere near as wiped out at the end of the ride (and throughout the day) as I normally do. Finished in 55:55.
