Ride up to Jim's house, and we continued over to Duenda Rd and then down to W Bernardo Dr, Headed toward Escondido, and it was a little chilly on this downhill. Over the bridge on the freeway, heading up BVP. I kept my pace dialed back and generally rode with Jim, particularly in the first half of the ride. We rode to the 78 and then did the little jog to get onto Citrus Ave, taking back to BVP and turning right to get over to Valley Pkwy. Turned on El Norte Pkwy, which we took down to Broadway. Then it was over to Jesmond Dene Rd, where there were three riders ahead of us for me to try and catch. I just did, at the top of the last little hill, where I stopped to wait for Jim to catch up. We continued to Centre City Pkwy and then onto Deer Springs Rd, connecting to Twin Oaks Valley Pkwy and making good time back into San Marcos. We turned left on Barham Dr and took it over to Mission Rd, taking the shorter route via Tulip St to Valley Pkwy and then onto Quince St, eventually getting onto Centre City Pkwy and taking the normal route home. It wasn't a lot of miles for me, so I felt strong at the end and made a pretty good run up to Jim's house before finishing at home.
