Ride to and from the ICE Lab picnic down at San Dieguito Park near Solana Beach with some other HP riders: Kelly Ronk, Alexey Kabalnov, Jon Crabtree, Eric Wiesner, and Avi Halpern. We headed over to RB Rd and took the usual route into Fairbanks Ranch and over to Calzada del Bosque. Then we headed up into Rancho Santa Fe. Then there was a climbing section where we turned left on Via de Alba then right on Puerta del Sol. This road connects to Linea del Cielo, the road that comes out of Rancho Santa Fe on the way to Solana Beach. One last little climb, then we turned right on Highland Dr to get to the park. Four of us rode back, at least to Camino del Sur, where Alexey and Kelly turned right to ride home. We cut through a neighborhood on the way back by turning right on Paseo del Sur and riding to Babcock St, which got us back onto Camino del Sur. Then it was back to the HP site. The pace was generally modest on this ride, although I pushed it on the climbing sections, including a high-effort sprint to the top on the last section of the Three Witches climb.
