Solo ride in the morning over to meet up with Ann for a hike at Daley Ranch. Headed over the pedestrian bridge and up BVP to Sunset Dr, taking it to Juniper St. Over to Washington Ave and then to Broadway. Left onto Mission Ave and then right on Centre City Pkwy. Out to El Norte Pkwy, where I turned right and then stopped for a couple of donuts, since I was ahead of schedule. I later regretted the donuts, they weren't great and they sat heavy in my gut. Up El Norte Pkwy to Rose St, then over to Valley Pkwy. From there, up to Citrus Ave and then back onto El Norte Pkwy, turning right on La Honda Dr to climb up to the parking lot by Daley Ranch. This was a steep climb for me at my current fitness level, particularly the last piece of it, and it was definitely a workout.
