Ride up to Jim's house for a modified time trial test route, heading up the normal way to Pomerado Rd, following it all the way to Poway Rd. It was noticeably colder on this day than the previous day, although the outside temperature was only a couple of degrees cooler. So we were pretty cold on the ride all the way to Sabre Springs Pkwy, where my fingers started to warm up. Stayed on Rancho Carmel Rd up to Carmel Mountain Rd. Jim and I rode together for the first part of this ride until we got onto Sabre Springs Pkwy, where I got some separation even though I was riding really slowly (I'm still in recovery mode). From here to the end, he dropped back when we rode up the rises. Back home via Camino del Norte to Bernardo Center Pkwy and W Bernardo Dr. It looks like it's going to be a long week and a half of riding if my fitness doesn't recover pretty quickly.
