Solo ride, with bike lights due to darkness, over to the intersection of Espola Rd and Twin Peaks Rd, taking RB Rd to Espola. I got a fairly quick start after leaving early, so I didn't push the pace. Met up with John, Dave, and Jim at the parking lot, and we headed up Espola Rd to Poway Rd, taking it all the way down to the 56 bike trail. Up to this point, the weather was fine, but it was gradually getting hotter. Down the bike trail to the Santa Fe Farms Rd overpass, which we used to get over to Carmel Valley Rd. By this point, John was still riding pretty well, but Dave and Jim were back. We rode to Camino del Sur, turned left, and took it all the way to Pomerado Rd. It was heating up, so even the very minor little climbs took some effort. Over to Metate Ln, using it to get to Community Rd. My legs were getting tired by this time, so I couldn't push it very hard on the stretch on Community. To Aubrey St, where we turned left and rode to Twin Peaks Rd, turning right to get back to the parking lot. The others were going to wait until the smoothie shop opened, but I turned around and rode back to Old Poway Park to meet Ann at the farmers' market. Glad to be done, I was pretty tired but not hurting.
