Solo ride in the morning after returning the previous day from Israel. Feel were still a little swollen from the flight, but I didn't feel the effects too much. Over the freeway and onto BVP to take it all the way to Citrus Ave, turning left here and riding up to El Norte Pkwy. Slow on the initial parts of the ride until about this point, where I found something of a rhythm. Down to Broadway, turning right and taking it all the way to its dead, seeing a mushroom farm and a small winery with tasting room. It was a general uphill ride to the end, making the return fun. Back to Country Club Ln, where I met up with another rider, who was claiming that it was cold (it wasn't). We rode together to El Norte Pkwy and then onto Woodland Pkwy, where I outpaced her a little bit. I stayed on this road over to Barham Dr, taking it to Mission Rd and back to Centre City Pkwy. From here, it was the normal way back home, making pretty good time and keeping the pressure on to maintain a steady pace. Felt fine at the end.
