Solo ride over to John's house, it was pretty cold at the start, about 6:45. Used RB Rd route and didn't push the pace too much because of the cold. On the little climb up to his house, I turned on Alpine to get a break. Jim met us, but he had a flat that he had to fix before we could start. We headed up toward the top of Pomerado Rd, but just past Scripps-Poway Pkwy Jim's rear tire blew out, so he turned around. John and I continued on, up to the top and then down to Kearny Villa Rd. Left here, down to Ruffin Rd and then left onto Clairemont Mesa Blvd to get to Murphy Canyon Rd. Then left on Aero Dr, taking a little climb up to Santo Rd and then turning left again. We rode over to Tierrasanta Blvd and turned right to get over to that steep 1-mile climb on Colina Dorado Dr. I got to the top and rode back down to meet John and ride up part of it again. Back over to Clairemont Mesa Blvd via Rueda Dr, then we rode back across I-15, turning right on Chesapeake Dr to get back to Kearny Villa Rd. From there, we retraced our route. The gradual climb up Pomerado Rd wasn't so bad, but I was slow at the top. I had a Gatorade at John's, then retraced my route to get back home. It seemed like the wind was helping me along, which was good, since I hadn't ridden this long in a while. Felt okay at the end but was worn out during the day.
