Solo ride initially over to John's house, going through the neighborhood to W Bernardo Dr and then to RB Rd to get to Pomerado Rd. From there, it was the normal route, but I dialed by effort back, knowing the ride coming up. Met up with John and Jim, and we rode over to Scripps-Poway Pkwy, taking it up to the 67. This was challenging as usual, maybe more so. It wasn't too cold, I'm just not in the kind of shape I have been in the past. Took the 67 to Highland Valley Rd, turning left there and riding back to Pomerado Rd. I put in some effort on the climbs up to this point, including climbing up to the top of Highland Valley Rd. From there, my legs were feeling it. Not so bad on the downhills, but once we started climbing again on Pomerado Rd, I was slower than usual. Again, back to John's house the same way, I was really slow on that last little climb to his neighborhood. He made smoothies, delicious, and I was fortunate to get a ride home from Jim. This was the first ride in a while where I felt worn out during the ride.
