08-01-2020 Ride
Ride from home with John (the day after he retired from HP), Dave, Jim, and Joe. I had replaced my chain earlier in the week, and it was skipping at the start, so I was taking it really easy to see if it would settle down. Through the neighborhood to RB Rd, then straight through Camino del Norte with a turn onto Del Sur Ridge Rd. I was trying to get over to Paseo del Sur but got turned around, so we ended up circling back to get onto Camino San Bernardo and over to Dove Canyon Rd. Down to Carmel Valley Rd, taking it to Camino del Sur and taking a right go head over to San Dieguito Rd. Down the hill, turning right onto El Apajo, then over to Calzada del Bosque to get to Via de la Valle. We rode to El Camino Real, turned left and rode over to Del Mar Heights. On the little climb out of the flats, I was feeling pretty good and was able to keep it above 10 mph. This climb was shorter than I remembered it, and I believe my new chain made a noticeable difference in my power transfer to the pedals. It feels really smooth when I pedal now. We all gathered at the Del Mar Heights Rd, then rode down to the 56 bike trail and took it back to Carmel Valley Rd It was starting to heat up a little bit, but the weather was still okay. From here, we essentially retraced our route back via Dove Canyon, taking it to RB Rd and back through the neighborhood, taking Cabela Dr and Luz Pl to get to Duenda, then riding by Jim's house before the last little downhill home. Smoothies (and a beer for Joe) after the ride were quite tasty. Felt tired but my legs were fine. I used Strava to track my ride and route, thinking about switching to this app instead of MapMyRide.
