Ride from church with Andy Sweet. He was quite nice about keeping his pace dialed back, as I'm working to get back into cycling shape. It was a very warm and breezy day. We headed up Broadway to Jesmond Dene Rd and then over to Centre City Pkwy. I was pretty slow on this climb, but I gave it a big effort. Over to Deer Springs Pkwy and then to Twin Oaks Valley Pkwy and Buena Creek Rd. Over to Santa Fe Ave and Mission Rd back into Escondido, then on Centre City Pkwy to 5th Ave to head back to church. I was pretty tired by this point, so I rode home slowly. On the climb up before the park, I got a flat tire and initially decided to walk back home. I ended up walking my bike to the shade by the park and changing the tube. Back home, slowly, and glad to finish that ride. My legs were pretty tired from the heat and high level of effort.
