Solo ride over to Dave's house, following the route behind the mall. On the previous day, we got our kitten Yofi, so I played with her a little bit before leaving. Jim and John joined the ride, and we headed over to Centre City Pkwy briefly, getting on Escondido Blvd to ride over to Sunset Dr and thus to BVP. Over to the 78, on a day that was cloudy and just about the right temperature for me. Then we headed out past the Wild Animal Park to Bandy Canyon Rd. On the stretch past the park, John and I made pretty good time, and I felt good going up the climb out of the valley. Behind Dave on the downhill on Highland Valley Rd, so I kept on the brakes for most of the way. Once we got to Pomerado Rd, we turned left and rode up to Escala Dr, turning right to get to the sharp downhill and uphill sections. It wasn't as bad as I remembered it, the first steep part back uphill. Then we took Duenda Rd over to W Bernardo Dr and back to the mall, riding through the parking lot to get to the road in back. Same route from there to Dave's house, where we had smoothies and a nice chat before I rode back home the normal route. Felt good on this ride, with still a lot of energy left for the last two little climbs.
