Ride with John and Jim from my house, heading over I-15 and turning onto BVP, taking it to San Pasqual Rd, where we turned right and rode down into the valley. There was more than the usual amount of traffic on this road, and it was a little sketchy before we turned onto Old Milky Way. Took this nice road to the 78, where we turned left and rode by the Wild Animal Park. Then we turned right onto Cloverdale Rd, since I thought I had found a way to connect back into Escondido another way. We got up to Mountain View Rd but found that it didn't go all the way through. It is very steep, though, so we rode up that short stretch before resting and turning around to get back to the 78. Then it was the more traditional way out of the valley, slow for me. Right on Citrus Ave, taking it back to BVP and then turning right to get to El Norte Pkwy. We rode back to Centre City Pkwy, and then I asked Jim how he was feeling. He was ready to make it a 30-mile ride, so we rode straight back from there, the normal way. On the freeway, I drafted behind John for a while, then rode out in front to practice a short sprint. Felt okay on this ride, still strong at the end, but it was a short ride.
