Time trial ride in the morning with John, Dave, and Jim, meeting the latter two at Jim's house. I started up the hill pretty fast, not scorching but putting in a good effort. We rode steadily over to Pomerado Rd, and then I started pushing the pace, giving it a pretty good effort, close to all out in sections up to the hospital. We gathered back together at this point, and I had a good push to the light, with the others taking leads to allow me some time to recover. Strong push to get to Poway Rd, where I waited for the others and caught John up with Jim and Dave, who had gotten out ahead. I pushed the pace on Sabre Springs Pkwy and Rancho Carmel Dr, riding for a time behind the others and then pushing out in front. My legs were barking on the last little section up to Carmel Mountain Rd. Similar on the little climb up Camino del Norte, but I tried to push through it and accelerate near the top and down the hill. I waited at the light by the freeway, and got going before John came on my back wheel and helped me set a good pace to Bernardo Center Dr. From there, it was pretty much a solo effort to set a good pace and end up strong. I caught the light at RB Rd and that helped with my time. Finished in 57:13, not quite a PR, but the other three riders each set a PR, which was a cool thing.
Later in the day, i replaced the CR2032 battery in my Cateye Micro cyclometer display unit. Wheel diameter = 2118 mm.
