Solo ride from home over to church in the afternoon. I was rushing because I needed to get there early enough to check whether I could find my charger for the Touchpad (I did). Took the Sunset Dr route. Then I met Joe, and we headed over to Juniper St and then to Idaho Ave, which has a really steep section to get over to the 78. Then we headed out to San Pasqual Rd and jogged over to Old Milky Way, connecting back to the 78. The wind was at our backs going out, which made it easier riding. I was still a little worn out from the previous day's ride. Out to Bandy Canyon Rd, which we took back to Highland Valley Rd. On this section, I met a guy who was a triathlete, just recently back from the Hawaii Ironman. Lucky him, he is retired and spends much of his time training and enjoying it. Up the grade there, slowly, where I waited at the top for Joe. We stayed together down to I-15, then he split off to head back to church, and I rode home to make dinner for Ann's birthday.
