Ride from home with John on a warm (then hot) humid day. I was not feeling great, dealing with persistent gas discomfort that had me feeling pain when I took deep breaths and burping a lot. Headed over the freeway to BVP and rode it up to Citrus Ave, taking this road over to El Norte Pkwy. Feeling okay here, headed down to Woodland Pkwy and took it over to Mission Rd. I was basically making the route up as we rode, trying to get a distance between 35 and 40 mi. Up to Las Posas Rd, where we took a right and climbed that little climb up behind Palomar College, which was more challenging that I thought it would be. Down to Twin Oaks Valley Pkwy, where I was starting to tire and working to keep up with John. Over to Craven Rd and then left onto Discovery St to get to San Marcos Blvd, where we turned right and took it back to Las Posas Rd to get to Mission Rd. Back into Escondido, where I was starting to tire and it was getting hot. Over to Valley Pkwy via Tulip St and then to Quince St. Over to Centre City Pkwy via 13th Ave and home the normal way from here. I was out of gas by the time we got to the freeway and couldn't match John's acceleration here, was slow too on the last two climbs, just glad to be done with that ride. Later in the day, we went to the Tour de Fat, and around that time is when my gas pain symptoms cleared up, not sure why.
