Solo ride initially, going over the bridge into Escondido and up BVP to the 78. I stayed on Ash St until Lincoln Ave and then turned left, heading back to Broadway. Right on Washington Ave and then left onto Centre City Pkwy, heading back toward Dave's house. To Felicita Rd, where I was early and so I took it to Citracado Pkwy. Back up and over the short, steep hill and then over to Brotherton Rd and to his place. John and Jim rode as well. so we all met up and took Brotherton Rd back to Felicita Rd and over to Via Rancho Pkwy. Up the hill to Tan Tam Dr, where I rode up this short, steep road and back down while waiting for the others. We continued over to Del Dios Hwy, taking it down to Via de la Valle and then Via de Santa Fe to El Apajo. From there, it was back up San Dieguito Rd to Camino del Sur. I had a pretty good ride up this climb. John stayed with me for about the first half. We gathered at the top and headed back toward RB the normal way down to W Bernardo Dr and back over the freeway. Just after the turn onto Via Rancho Pkwy before crossing the freeway, Jim got a flat, so we stopped while he fixed it. Then it was over to Beethoven Dr and onto the little bike trail through Kit Carson Park to get to Escondido Blvd, back to Citracado Pkwy and then onto Centre City Pkwy and to Dave's house the normal way. Stopped for smoothies, then I headed back the usual route. Felt good throughout this ride. I started off fast but slowed down some to ride with Dave toward the latter part of the ride through Del Sur when he was starting to tire out.
