Solo ride, initially, in the dark before meeting up with Jim. I was pretty cool at the start, and at times when I climbed I would get into a warmer zone, then go down into a cooler area. Headed up Azucar Way to Duenda Rd, then over to W Bernardo Dr for the climb up to work. I had the bike lights on and my music going. Over to Camino del Norte via Bernardo Center Dr, then up to Pomerado Dr. Rode up to the hospital and then down to RB Rd, turning left and going up to Olmeda Way and then right on Capilla Rd to get to Poblado Rd. Back to Matinal Rd, then the normal way toward Jim's house. We met up, then headed via the regular route to RB Rd and out to Camino del Sur. Out to San Dieguito Rd and down into Fairbanks Ranch to El Apajo. We took it over to Calzada del Bosque and then rode to Via de la Valle. On these flats, it was chilly, but when we started riding toward the coast, the temperature was ideal. Down to the coast highway, which we took through Del Mar and then turned off onto Carmel Valley Rd. By this time it was starting to warm up a little, and Jim was beginning to wear down. Over to El Camino Real and the 56 bike trail, which we rode up to Camino del Sur. After this point, Jim was really slowing down. As a result, I kept my pace on the bike trail dialed back. Home via the normal route that follows Carmel Valley Rd. Back through the neighborhood to Cabela Dr, using it to get over to Duenda Rd and back to Jim's house. He was really finished by the end of the ride. I felt okay, but I was tired when the ride was done.
