Well, this ride was an adventure. It was Bethlehem Walk weekend, so I expected not to have a lot of energy and was looking for something fairly tame. Rode solo over to John's house, following the normal route and not pushing the pace. From there, we rode over to Scripps-Poway Pkwy and up to the 67. It was a slow, steady slog for me. Down toward Lakeside, turning on Lakeside Ave to get to Riverside Dr. Then we rode El Nopal to Magnolia Ave to get onto Mast Blvd, over to the 52 bike trail. I had a pretty good climb here, keeping it above 10 mph and mostly above 11 mph, helped by a tailwind. It took a lot out of me, so I was slow the rest of the way. Santo Rd to Clairemont Mesa Blvd, taking it over to Chesapeake Dr and then onto Ruffin Rd/Kearny Villa Rd. Back to John's house the normal way, and it was a slow go indeed up Pomerado Rd. I didn't hang around too long at his place, just headed back home the normal way, taking the RB Rd to W Bernardo Dr route. The ride was more than I bargained for, but I was fine for the day after a nap.
