Ride up Azucar Way to Jim's house, where I met up with him and Dave. It was kinda chilly at the start, but it turned out to be great riding weather. We headed over W Bernardo Dr to RB Rd and then up to Pomerado Rd. Out to Highland Valley Rd and over the flats to the climb, which was a challenge for my legs. I made it up slowly, and then we rode over to Bandy Canyon Rd and down into the San Pasqual Valley. The others were ridng a little further back, so I did a combination of slowing my pace down and waiting at points for them. We rode over to the 78, then headed back toward Escondido, riding to Cloverfield Rd and taking this road north for about a mile and a half to view the scenery. Then it was back to San Pasqual Rd and out of the valley this way. This road is pretty beat up, and there was a fair amount of traffic on it, so not the best stretch of road on the day. Over to BVP and home the normal way, with the exception of staying on W Bernardo Rd up to Duenda Rd to avoid the steeper route via Aguamiel Rd. My legs felt surprisingly good, no soreness at all and just a little tiredness.
