Solo ride after work and after dinner, since Ann was going to work out at the gym. I headed through the neighborhood and up to RB Rd, taking an easy pace. It was warm enough to build up a sweat but not overly hot. I headed over to W Bernardo Dr using Via del Campo, then got onto Bernardo Center Dr to take it to Camino del Norte. The wind was coming in from the west at a fairly brisk clip, and it was a definite help on the stretches where I rode to the east. I rode over to Carmel Mountain Rd and then turned on Rancho Carmel Dr, taking it all the way to Poway Rd at a fast pace. The stretch up Poway Rd to Pomerado Rd was also fast with the wind at my back. I took the little jog on Oak Knoll Rd, then got onto Pomerado Rd. Here, the wind was coming slightly at me, which slowed my down a little bit. I took it all the way down to the freeway, then back home by the park. I caught a greater number of lights than usual on this ride.
