Solo ride from home. Jim was going to ride, but he buckled his rear wheel. Headed down by the park, then up Pomerado Rd. I kept a pretty decent pace, not scorching. Turned on Scripps-Poway Pkwy and headed up to the 67. It had been awhile since I had done any serious, sustained climbing, so things were slow. Surprisingly, my riding pace was still okay, not too far off from when I'm in my normal cycling shape. I had originally planned to turn around at the top of the climb and ride back, but I was feeling okay, so I headed north on the 67. Things slowed down here as my riding fitness caught up with me. I think a tailwind helped on the section into the outskirts of Ramona. Turned on Highland Valley Rd and made pretty good time on the flats, slowing down when it started to climb. The ride down was fun as always. It was cool during this section, May Gray in full force. I wasn't riding too fast on the flats after the last downhill, and I could feel it in my legs. Headed back home by the park, where the little climb went okay. The last little climb up Aguamiel Rd was when my quads told me that they were done for the day, but I recovered quickly after the end of the ride.
