Solo ride over to John's house, taking W Bernardo Dr to RB Rd and then through the neighborhood by the post office. Steady pace on the way over, keeping it above 10 mph on the little hill up to his house but only by turning onto Alpine Dr. Jim and Dave met up with us. and we rode up to Scripps-Poway Pkwy, turning right and heading to Black Mountain Rd, where we turned left. We rode to Miramar Way and turned right to head toward the coast. To Genesee Ave via Eastgate Mall, then up that little climb to Torrey Pines Rd. I was slow on this climb, just not enough miles in my legs to have a sustained push. Down to Carmel Valley Rd, turning right and getting over to the 56 bike trail. We took it all the way back to Rancho Penasquitos Rd, with John really pushing his pace on the little climb before Black Mountain Rd. Back to Poway Rd, turning right onto Sabre Springs Pkwy and then back to his house the normal way from there. Toward the end of the ride, I was starting to feel that my legs were about done, but they held up fine.
