Ride over to John's house to meet up with him and Jim, taking the route on Bernardo Center Dr to Lomica Dr to get over to Pomerado Rd. There was some mist in the air, enough to be refreshing. From John's we headed up to the top of Pomerado Rd via the normal route, then took Pomerado down to Kearny Villa Rd, heading south and staying on this road until Aero Dr, where we jogged over to Linda Vista Rd. By this time, I guessed what route John had selected, not my favorite. We turned right onto Genesee Rd and took it north, with its number of ups and downs. John would ride away from me on the downhills, and I would catch and pass him on the uphills. Over to Nobel Dr, turning right and using it to get to Miramar Rd. We all gathered here and rode back together past the freeway, then Jim dropped back and John and I continued at the same pace up the Pomerado gradual climb. I was tiring out near the top and didn't have much left by this time. Back to John's house the normal way, and I gratefully got a ride back home from Jim. Still need a fair amount more fitness in my legs before I'll be ready to ride home after a ride like that.
