Time trial loop, starting from home. It was cool for about the first 5 minutes of this ride, but that was it. I got over to Dave's house and met up with him and Jim. We started out riding at a moderate pace, but Jim fell behind. I rode with Dave until before the curve, then rode out ahead, waiting for them to catch up before the high school. I kept my pace above 11 mph on the little climb up to Poway Rd, felt good about that effort. But I hadn't worked hard on the ride up to that point. We all stayed pretty much together going down Poway Rd, and I pulled away again on the Sabre Springs Pkwy section. Dave really slowed down here, I think his lack of sleep was catching up with him. We rode, slowly, up Ted Williams Pkwy, basically staying together. On the section of Pomerado Rd after the intersection at Twin Peaks Rd, I kept with the others for awhile, then pushed it all out to the top by the hospital. We all then rode together back to Dave's house. There were a couple of good portions of this ride for me, where I rode at or near my fastest pace. However, it's going to be a long while before the others are in shape for me to consider getting close to my personal best time. Finished in 58:00 on this ride.
