Solo ride initially from the parking lot by Carmel Mountain Rd over to John's house, taking the normal route. It was really chilly until I started on the climb up to his place. We met up and headed over to Scripps-Poway Pkwy, turning right. It was warming up by this time. We took it all the way to Mercy Rd and Black Mountain Rd, then riding up to Mira Mesa Blvd. From there, we rode on the 4th of July route down into Sorrento Valley and right on Vista Sorrento Pkwy, up to Carmel Creek Rd and taking a left to get down to Sorrento Valley Rd. South until we tried to connect with Carroll Canyon Rd. It looked like the road was under construction, so we doubled back and headed up Mira Mesa Blvd to Scranton Rd and then down to Carroll Canyon Rd. Left here, riding up a gradual climb on Carroll Rd until we turned right on Camino Santa Fe to get over to Miramar Rd. From here, it was the normal way back to John's house. I was riding steadily, but I still don't have a lot of stamina to maintain a high output for a sustained period of time. Stopped at John's house for a quick rest and a soda until heading back the way I came. Legs felt fine at the end, just no high output available. More work and miles needed to get back in shape.
