Time trial route, starting from home. Dave and John rode, although John was not interested in setting a PR this time. So I kept the pace a little more modest, riding with Dave, who is starting to round into cycling shape. We rode up past Poway High School together, then all three downhill. I didn't push super hard on the hill up to Poway Rd, and we rode together for most of the next section, separating from John near the turn onto Sabre Springs Pkwy. We rested at the turn onto Ted Williams Pkwy, then rode together until John and I put some separation on Dave. On Pomerado Rd, I pushed the pace about as hard as I could up to the hospital, then the three of us rode back at a pretty fast pace to Dave's house. Dave set a season PR, and he's riding faster now. I finished in 54:36.
