Solo ride initially over to John's house, starting when it was definitely dark and needing my bike light for most of the ride over. Standard route, except I chickened out and took the Alpine turn on the climb up to his place. Jim showed up several minutes late, then we headed back down to Poway Rd and rode up to the 67. That was a tough stretch, I didn't remember it being as challenging as it was, especially near the end. I waited for John to join me, then we waited awhile longer before riding back down to see where Jim was. He had a flat that delayed him, so we rode back up to the top and then turned left onto the 67. That stretch up to the pass by Mt Woodson was easier than I remembered, then we rode down to Archie Moore Rd to get over to Highland Valley Rd. Steady climb up the shallow grade, then it was the exhilarating ride down to Bandy Canyon Rd. Kept on the road until Pomerado Rd, then we turned left and headed back toward John's house. I was feeling it by this time, so I ended up riding with them to Pomerado Hospital before turning back toward home. Standard route via RB Rd and Duenda Rd, doing okay on pace but not great. Legs felt fine, just some loss of cardio and not as much push in them
