Ride with Jim, riding up to his house to meet him, then heading over to W Bernardo Dr and up the hill to Bernardo Center Dr. We took this road out to Black Mountain Rd. I wasn't pushing the pace on this ride, knowing that I had two more days of riding this weekend. Took Black Mountain over to the 56 bike trail, which we rode together all the way down to El Camino Real. Jim is a good guy to ride with, very conversational and having interesting things to say and talk about. Up El Camino Real, then down and over to San Dieguito Rd We kept the pace pretty easy on the flats, and I picked it up on the 3 Witches climb. I saw a couple of riders ahead of me, so I rode to catch up with them. I did near the base of the last climb, but I couldn't shake them. I worked really hard on this little stretch, and it felt pretty good. Back home the usual route, taking RB Rd all the way downhill. I stopped at Jim's place for a great smoothie.
