Solo ride initially, to get some more miles in. Through the neighborhood to Matinal Rd and then RB Rd to Bernardo Center Dr. To Lomica Dr and then to Hada Dr to get onto Pomerado Rd. Up to Ted Williams Pkwy and then over to Rancho Carmel Dr. Right on Carmel Mountain Rd and then over to Bernardo Heights Pkwy via Paseo Lucido. Right on Bernardo Center Dr and then home via Duenda Rd to Azucar Way. Jim and Dave met me at my house, and we rode through the neighborhood to RB Rd and up to Dove Canyon Rd. Over to Carmel Valley Rd and then up to Black Mountain Rd. We rode to the 56 bike trail and then took it down to El Camino Real. At this point, I made the mistake of turning left and riding a loop using Carmel Mountain Rd, Sorrento Valley Rd, and Carmel Valley Rd back to El Camino Real. We were all slowing down by this point, as the temperature and humidity were high. Back on the 56 bike trail to Camino del Sur, where we stopped at a rest stop and had some water and bananas. Back to Carmel Valley Rd, where Jim started cramping up and ended up having to call Krista to come pick him up. We waited with him, then Dave and I continued, at an even slower pace. I really dialed it back. Back to Dove Canyon Rd, riding up to Camino San Bernardo and taking it over to RB Rd. From there, we retraced our original route out of the neighborhood. My legs held out, and my cardio was okay, but I just didn't have any drive in my legs in the latter part of the ride.
