01-13-2013 Ride

Ride over to Dave's house for a time trial ride with him and John.  It was 33 deg at my house when I left, and I was pretty bundled up.  Even still, my toes and fingers got pretty cold during the ride.  It was okay on the ride over there and at the start.  We headed up RB Rd at a modest clip, and I was not feeling that strong.  I could really feel the effects in my legs of the interval training on the previous day's ride.  I put a little bit of separation on the others on the climb up to the high school, but not much.  It got really cold on the downhill after this, and I didn't warm up on the little climb up to Poway Rd.  I was really slow on this section.  We stayed together going downhill on Poway Rd in the first part of the flat section, trading leads.  At one point, I hauled out to push the pace, and John stayed with me as we created separation from Dave.  He rode strongly on Poway Rd, where I couldn't really shake him for good.  I was slow going up Sabre Springs Pkwy, not much faster on Ted Williams Pkwy.  Right after the turn onto Pomerado Rd, John developed a slow leak in his rear tire.  We got back together just after the light at Twin Peaks Rd and rode slowly the rest of the way, which was okay by me.  Just didn't have any drive or endurance on this day.  Finished the time trial route in close to 1:00:00.
