Ride with Jim and John from home, starting a little after 7:30. John picked the route, taking us out to Lake Wohlford via BVP. It was a touch chilly at the start but not bad at all after we got away from the lake. I kept up a decent pace for much of this ride. The first mile of the Lake Wohlford climb was easier than I remembered, and the second was more difficult, probably not as much stamina as in the past. I got to the top and then rode back down to ride back up with Jim. Stayed on Lake Wohlford Rd all the way to Valley Center Rd, then rode it back into Escondido. We made really fast time on this stretch, apart from the little climb before the big downhill. John was pushing the pace hard. Back home by retracing our route once we got past the turnoff for Lake Wohlford Rd. Again, fast pace on this stretch, aided by a slight tailwind. Across the bridge, I gave John a leadout and he took off, but I couldn't keep up with him. Still had an overall very good ride, given that I didn't ride last weekend.
