Time trial ride, initially with John up to Jim's house, where we were joined by him and Dave for the first ever new time trial route where all four of us rode. The pace was faster with Dave riding, particularly at the start. John and I rode out ahead going up Pomerado Rd, and I tried to match my pace to keep John just on my rear wheel. I got out a little ahead by the hospital, where we all gathered together and continued. We rode basically together until midway down Poway Rd, where John and I got out ahead again. I stretched it a little bit on the last part, waiting for the others after the turn. I let them go ahead, then I rode to try and catch up with them, eventually riding with John on my wheel. We continued on Rancho Carmel Dr, same general thing, and John was able to hang with me until the turn onto Carmel Mountain Rd. He and I rode basically together up the hill on Camino del Norte, with me getting out a little ahead and him catching up when I coasted down toward the freeway. A pretty fast pace over to Bernardo Center Dr, then John and I rode at a good clip on W Bernardo Dr. I led out after the light at RB Rd, with John catching me near the turn onto Duenda Rd. He pushed it up the hill, but ended up just a little slower than his PR. Still, it was a good ride for him and a nice workout for me. Finished in 1:00:30.
