Solo ride from home, since nobody else was interested in riding. I had just gotten the stitches out of my left forearm, and everything felt fairly decent. Still, I didn't feel the need or have the energy to push the pace during this ride. I headed down by the park, then up Pomerado Rd to RB Rd, taking a left and going up into Poway via the normal time trial route. I kept my pace modest, enjoying the downhill section to Twin Peaks Rd, where I turned right. It was starting to get nice here, sunny and cool. I took this down to Camino del Norte, then headed up Camino del Norte to Carmel Mountain Rd, jogging over to Rancho Carmel Dr and taking it all the way to the 56 bike trail. Stayed on this trail down to Carmel Valley Rd, keeping a steady pace but not burning it. Started heading back at this point, going over to Camino del Sur and taking a left here. Back to RB Rd at a steady but slower pace, noticing that they have opened the eastbound lane of Camino del Sur just before RB Rd. Took RB Rd down to W Bernardo Dr, rough ride as always, then home the normal way.
