Solo ride in the morning, feeling low-energy from the start from the previous day's ride. Headed down by the park and up Pomerado Rd to RB Rd, then up to do the first part of the time trial route. Even on this gradual uphill section, I knew it was going to be a long day in the saddle. I had no push in my legs. They held up during pedaling, but I couldn't generate any drive. My cardio was fine as well. Headed up to Poway Rd, pretty slow on the last ascent, and down to Garden Rd. I turned here and headed over to Scripps-Poway Pkwy via Sycamore Canyon Rd. This road is basically uphill all the way and fairly steep in parts. Then it was down to Community Rd (fast downhill here) and over to Twin Peaks Rd. I connected with Ted Williams Pkwy and rode over to get to the 56 bike trail. By this point, even the smaller uphill sections were a workout. Down to Camino del Sur, which I took back into 4S Ranch, turning on RB Rd. Down to W Bernardo Dr and home the usual way from there. I'm hoping that my fitness comes back quickly. Need to put in some miles this week to get my legs used to multiple-day riding again.
