Solo ride over to John's house, it was a little chilly at the start but not noticeable after I got moving. Over to W Bernardo Dr and up to RB Rd, taking it to Pomerado Rd and then following the normal route to his house via Alpine Terrace. Met up with him, and we headed up to Scripps-Poway Pkwy, which I hadn't ridden in a long time. It was a chore on the climbs for sure, the toughest I have worked in a while. Then we headed toward Ramona, turning left onto Highland Valley Rd and riding up past the elementary school before turning onto Archie Moore Tr to get over to Archie Moore Rd. This road has a sharp little climb on it that slowed me down too. Back to the 67, where we retraced our route on the return to John's house. I had a short rest and a diet soda, then headed home the normal way via Bernardo Center Dr. I felt pretty good on the ride from John's, aided perhaps by a tailwind for much of the way.
