Ride from Carmel Mountain Rd parking lot to John's house. I was able to keep it above 10 mph on the little climb up to Mountain Pass Rd, and it was a workout. Met up with him and Dave, and we headed to the top of Pomerado Rd, and then down to get onto Kearny Villa Rd. Dave was riding slowly, so I dialed my pace way back to not get too far ahead. Stayed on this road until we turned left onto Aero Dr, again taking an easy pace. Right on Sandrock Rd, then right again onto Murray Ridge Rd, which has a nice downhill into Mission Valley, turning into Mission Center Rd. Took this road to Friars Rd, where we turned left and rode over to the stadium. We intended to ride around the stadium and catch the bike path on the east side, but the way was blocked, so we turned around and got onto the bike path via San Diego Mission Rd. Onto Murphy Canyon Rd, taking it north, and gradually uphill, to Clairemont Mesa Blvd. Right on Chesapeake Dr, which we took over to Ruffin Rd and then to Kearny Villa Rd. From there, we retraced our route back to John's house, riding slowly together on the Kearny Villa Rd stretch. Once we got to the Pomerado Rd climb, we started together, but John was riding a little faster, so I stayed with him until near the end, when the incline got a little higher. Again, I was able to keep it above 10 mph on that last little climb, but it was difficult for me. A brief rest and a Gatorade at John's place before I retraced my route back to the car. I wasn't so fast on the return, but my legs held up fine. I forgot to restart my ride on Strava at John's house, so it doesn't show the entire route.
