Solo ride initially, riding over to Dave's house. I saw a coyote on W Bernardo Dr before I got to the park. Over the pedestrian bridge to BVP and up to Sunset Dr, taking it to Juniper Dr. I was generally warm on the ride except for my toes, which were kind of numb. Up to 5th St, taking it over to Centre City Pkwy and back toward Dave's place. Up Montview Dr to Alexander Dr, where I met up with him, John, and Jim. We rode back down to Centre City Pkwy, then headed north up to Deer Springs Pkwy, taking it down to Buena Creek Rd. On a couple of places, I rode out ahead, but I wasn't riding very hard. Stayed with the others here on this little climb, then we rode down the hill pretty fast, getting over to S Santa Fe Ave. I rode a little faster on this section, trying to catch up with a cyclist who had a head start on us. We all gathered back together before it became Mission Rd, then we rode back into Escondido, John and I out together in front and the others not too far behind. Over to Centre City Pkwy and back to Felicita Ave, taking it to Redwood St and then to Alexander Dr. A good smoothie at Dave's house, then back home the normal way. I felt fine on the ride, not overly strong and just a little muscle soreness later in the day.
