Solo ride over to John's house, generally taking the normal route with the exception of riding through the neighborhood by the post office to get to Pomerado Rd. Steady but not scorching pace. I met up with him, Dave, and Jim at his house, and we rode up to the top of Pomerado Rd and then down to Kearny Villa Rd, taking it to Clairemont Mesa Blvd for a short jaunt over to Murphy Canyon Rd. We took this road down to the bike trail that empties into the Qualcomm Stadium parking lot, and we circled around the stadium, exiting onto Friars Rd and riding west to Mission Central Rd, which has a generally uphill trend until the last half mile or so, where it gets quite steep. Left on Murray Ridge Rd over to Sandrock Rd, taking another left and then yet another left onto Aero Dr. Shortly after, the others turned to head back to John's house, and I continued over to Linda Vista Rd, heading south to ride down to Little Italy. Stayed on it until Morena Blvd, riding to Taylor St and then left onto Congress St and San Diego Ave. Down to Noell St and then over to Hancock St, then California St to Kettner Blvd. From there, it was generally straight, with a little jog onto India St, down into Little Italy. Once I got down there, I had a smoothie (very expensive!) and waited to meet up with Ann, Laura, and Andra to visit the farmer's market.
