I drove over to Joe's house with my bike in the back seat of my Spyder, and we headed out from his place up Centre City Pkwy to Deer Springs Rd, then rode down to Twin Oaks Valley Pkwy. I kept up a decent pace but didn't really push it, preferring to ride with Joe more at his pace. We rode down to Borden Rd and turned right there, heading up behind Palomar College and riding to Las Posas Rd. We turned left there and rode over to San Marcos Blvd, then took a right and over to Discovery St, riding it to Craven Rd. Then it was over to CSUSM, riding Twin Oaks Valley Pkwy to Barham Dr and then to Woodland Pkwy. Then it was over to El Norte Pkwy for a short time to get to Country Club Ln and back to Joe's house the normal way. He rode pretty well over this short distance.

From there, I drove over to San Marcos to drop my car off at George Buchheim's auto repair shop, then I rode home from there. I rode to San Marcos Blvd and followed my earlier route to Barham Dr, then staying on it over to Mission Rd. I was pretty tired by this point, so I couldn't push the pace like I would have wanted to. Then I followed the usual route via Tulip St over to Valley Pkwy and then to Quince St, then home the usual way. I did okay on the uphill sections, so my leg muscles weren't cramping, just tired.
