Solo ride on a weekday morning when I took a vacation day. Ann and I went to the fair later in the day. I rode out through the neighborhood, onto RB Rd and then down to Camino del Sur. Took it to San Dieguito Rd and headed down into Fairbanks Ranch. It was pretty foggy, with some intermittent mist. Around the flats to El Camino Real, then up into Del Mar Heights. I was able to keep it above 10.5 mph on this climb, working hard but feeling good. Down to the 56 bike trail, which I took all the way to Rancho Penasquitos Rd. Through the traffic by the freeway and on Poway Rd until I got up near Pomerado Rd, where I stopped at the Starbucks and had a coffee and a break. Then it was down Pomerado Rd to the freeway. I saw that I still needed a little more distance to get to 40 miles, so I headed over the freeway and then took the bike trail back over Lake Hodges. Then it was back home the normal way by the park. Legs felt fine the rest of the day, but I was pretty tired walking around the fairgrounds.
