Solo initial ride in the morning, heading through the neighborhood to RB Rd and out to Camino del Sur. I rode over to Carmel Valley Rd, feeling okay but not super strong. A decent push up to the crest by the small climb near Black Mountain Rd, keeping it above 10 mph the whole way but having to work at it, particularly by the intersection there. Then it was down to Dove Canyon Rd and back toward 4S Ranch, turning on Camino del Norte and riding up to Camino San Bernardo to get back to RB Rd. Over and down to W Bernardo Dr, taking it down to Aguamiel Rd and back home that way. I met up with John, and we rode up to Jim's house to meet him and ride the time trial route. No real noteworthy events on the ride, as I generally stayed with them except for a short stretch before the turn onto Poway Rd where I pushed it to the stops, as well as some separation on the little climbs on Sabre Springs Pkwy and Rancho Carmel Dr. John rode fast on the last stretch on W Bernardo Dr, and I was able to hang on his wheel with an effort.
