Solo ride over to John's house, riding through the neighborhood to Poblado Rd and then over to W Bernardo Dr. Up to RB Rd, turning right on Bernardo Center Dr and riding up to Lomica Dr, then over to Pomerado Rd. From there, it was the normal way to his place, and I took a fairly easy pace to the bottom of the little hill up into his neighborhood. Kept it above 10 mph, but it was a high effort for me at the very top to finish off this little climb. Met up with John, Dave, and Jim, at John's house, and we headed up the normal way to the top of Pomerado Rd and then down to Miramar Rd. Over to Camino Ruiz, taking a right here. I don't think I've been on this part of that road before, so it was nice to see some new sights. We then connected up with the Fourth of July route. On the Calle Cristobal section, I felt pretty good and, toward the latter half, rode out ahead of the others and kept up a good pace all the way to the downhill. Stayed on the route through the connection to El Camino Real and San Dieguito Rd. I was feeling pretty good and riding a steady pace. We rode back up the Three Witches climb, and I was able to keep it above 10 mph, again with a fairly big effort near the top to finish it off. Back on Camino del Sur / Camino del Norte to Pomerado Rd, and then back to John's house the normal way. On the second trip up the last little climb, I was slower but had enough left for a nice push at the last and then to his place. Back home the general normal way, having to deal with Pomerado Rd being repaved and lanes being blocked off. My legs held up through this ride, but I was tired into the early afternoon from the exertion.
