Ride from home with Dave, Jim, David Settles, and Jim's friend Flash. This was the first time I had ridden with David and Flash. We headed out through the neighborhood to RB Rd, then over via Camino del Sur to San Dieguito Rd. on the first little climb to RB Rd, the others were behind, but David kept with me on the climb before San Dieguito Rd. He fell back on the downhill into Fairbanks Ranch. We headed over to El Camino Real. Dave and I led out on this climb, but he fell back about two-thirds of the way up. David stayed close behind, though. We headed over to the 56 bike trail and all pretty much stayed together until the gentle climbs beyond Carmel Valley Rd. Then Flash, David, and I were pretty much together. We dropped Flash on the second little climb, and I was working hard to stay on David's wheel. On the part climbing up to I-15, I left the others behind with a push. We all gathered up and stayed basically together on Rancho Carmel Rd. Flash and I rode out ahead on Camino del Norte, but he cracked near the top. We headed back home by HP. This will be a good group to ride with, as there are more riders in the group who will push the pace.
