Time trial route ride with John, going at a moderate pace for much of it, not trying to stress the system too much. I pretty much rode at his pace, not getting too far out in front at any time. Finished in 1:06:20.

After church, I rode from church over to Lost Abbey Brewery, taking Broadway to Mission Rd and out to Woodland Pkwy. I hadn't brought any water, so I was looking for a place to get something to eat and drink. Turned right on Rancheros Dr but didn't see anything, so I ended up riding around City Hall in San Marcos and getting back onto Mission Rd heading east. Stopped at a 7-11 and got two bottles of Gatorade to fill up my water bottles, then I headed back to Woodland Pkwy and Rancheros Dr to get to the brewery, where I met up with Joe. We headed west, staying on Rancheros Dr to San Marcos Blvd and then over to Richmar Ave to Marcos St, getting on Mission Rd and taking it up to Las Posas Rd. Then it was over to San Marcos Blvd to get to Rancho Santa Fe Rd. Took it down to La Costa Ave and followed this road all the way to the coast. The wind was fairly brisk, coming generally from the southwest. We headed north along the coast up to Palomar Airport Rd. Joe was starting to slow down by this time, but I was feeling pretty good. I made decent progress on the climb back up Palomar Airport Rd, pausing at various times to wait for him. Back onto San Marcos Blvd, which we took all the way back to Rancheros Dr and then back to Lost Abbey for some beer. We were supposed to meet John Weiss, but he didn't show. So we talked for about an hour before heading home. I had a flat in my front tire when I got out to my bike, so I fixed it and took it easy on the way home, having an underinflated tire. Back to Woodland Pkwy and over to Barham Dr, taking the normal route over to Valley Pkwy and then to Quince St. Standard way home from here. I was definitely feeling it by this time, and the wind was also working against me in the last 7 miles or so. I just gritted it out and rode slowly up the final little climbs. I was tired and irritable at the end, probably overdid it on this day.
