Solo ride initially over to the Park & Ride by the mall, riding on the freeway using my old bike. I was having the rear wheel on my new bike fixed, so I had spent some time the previous day to clean up and lubricate my old one. I met up with Joe, and we headed back over the freeway and up Pomerado Rd. I kept a decent pace but didn't push it. I had experienced soreness in my right calf muscle after returning from Israel, but it had gotten better and I wanted to keep the healing process going. We rode up to the top of the hill, then turned right onto Cypress Canyon Park Dr, down to Angelique St, and then up to Cypress Canyon Rd. From there, we rode down to Scripps-Poway Pkwy and over to Springbrook Dr, then down to Poway Rd. We stopped at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf by Pomerado Rd, had a coffee and a nice conversation, then headed back via Pomerado Rd. We stayed pretty much together until near the freeway, when I continued past, intending to ride over the pedestrian bridge. I waited for Joe to catch up, but he thought I was riding home and rode over the freeway. By the time I got back to the Park & Ride, he was gone, so I rode home. It was a nice morning for a ride, not too hot. My legs felt fine at the end, no real soreness or tiredness.
