Solo ride in the morning, couldn't get anybody else to ride along. It was cold but not super cold, and cloudy for much of the ride. Over to BVP, staying on it to Valley Pkwy. I rode past my originally planned turn, and turned left onto Eureka Dr, which dead-ended so that I had to ride a little bit to get onto the Escondido Creek bike trail, taking it back to El Norte Pkwy. Stayed on this road until Centre City Pkwy, turning right and riding up to Country Club Ln, where I turned left. I was winging it for the route at this point, so I rode through the neighborhood by the abandoned golf course and eventually got back on to El Norte Pkwy, turning left on Woodland Pkwy. Just past the intersection with Mission Rd, I got a flat in my front tire, so I stopped to fix it as well as change out some of my cold weather gear. After fixing it, I rode to Barham Dr and then to Mission Rd, taking it to Quince St and then via 2nd Ave to Centre City Pkwy. From there, it was the normal route home. Felt okay on the ride, never really strong. I was saving my energy somewhat to help tear down and pack up the Bethlehem Walk stuff later.
