Solo ride in the morning, a little overcast and nice temperature. I've been batrtling a cold, so I know it wouldn't be a high output day. Headed through the neighborhood to RB Rd and out to Camino del Sur, riding to San Dieguito Rd and taking it down into Fairbanks Ranch. Around the flats and over to El Camino Real, taking it up into Del Mar Heights. I was initially at good speed on the climb here but slowed down about halfway up. I stopped at the shopping center by Del Mar Heights Rd and had a coffee and a rest, then continued down to the 56 bike trail, making decent time to Carmel Valley Rd, where I slowed down. On the 56 bike trail, I rode it to its end to the west, not very far from the connection at El Camino Real. It was a slow pace up to Camino del Sur, where I picked up my speed a little bit to stay with another rider who was on the same road. We rode together to San Dieguito Rd, where he turned and I slowed down again. Headed through the neighborhood once I got to Paseo Del Sur, eventually connecting back to RB Rd and riding home via W Bernardo Dr. It was a nice ride, no coughing and it helped to clear out some of the congestion in my sinuses.
