Solo ride after work. I got home and found that I had a flat on my rear tire, so I swapped it out with the new Gatorskin tire during the repair. I was flying out to Israel the following day, so I didn't put a lot of effort into this ride, preferring instead to take it easy and use the ride as a stress-reducer. Headed through the neighborhood up to RB Rd and out toward 4S Ranch. I turned right on Alva Rd to get an idea of where Guangjin Li lives and took this road through his neighborhood, looping back onto Alva Rd and continuing on RB Rd, turning right on Camino del Sur. Headed out all the way to the 56 bike trail, making pretty good time on the little incline section before Carmel Valley Rd. I was riding into a steady wind on the 56 bike trail, so I took it easy. Down to Carmel Valley Rd, which I took all the way back into 4S Ranch, again taking things pretty easy. Up Dove Canyon Rd, turning right on Camino Bernardo and heading over to RB Rd. Took this to Matinal Rd, then back home through the neighborhood.
