Ride over to the Park & Ride after work to meet up with Joe. I was late getting started and late getting there. We headed over Beethoven to BVP and rode out to Valley Pkwy. I kept a decent pace, and Joe was staying with me on the flat sections. Over to El Norte Pkwy, which we took all the way over to Bennett Ave. This section was generally into the wind, but we made decent time. We took Bennett Ave over to Mission Rd, turned and rode to Auto Park Way, where we took a right and then another right onto Country Club Rd. This road led us into the new housing development called Harmony Grove Village, which looks like it will be a fairly large thing. Over to Harmony Grove Rd via Harmony Grove Village Rd, then through the industrial park to Hale Ave and Avenida del Diablo. To Valley Pkwy, where Joe was starting to slow down a little more. I was feeling really good, especially in the cardio. Back using Via Rancho Pkwy, where we were helped by a stiff tailwind. We had a beer at the end that I had brought over with me at the beginning and left in his car. It was starting to get dusky when I rode home via the normal route, but I made it just fine.
