Tour de Labor, starting from my house with John and Jim. We rode over to the pedestrian bridge over Lake Hodges, then took BVP to Beethoven Dr behind the mall and used that route to get onto Escondido Blvd. We took this route through downtown to the parking lot by the cinema, where we met up with Joe. From there we headed out Valley Pkwy to 9th Ave, then over to Harmony Grove Rd. Out to Elfin Forest Rd and up into San Elijo Hills. I was feeling pretty good and was able to keep it above 10 mph all the way into the village. The others, particularly John, also put in a good effort, so we decided to ride up San Elijo Rd toward Double Peak. John, Joe, and I rode up to Double Peak Dr, where I rode up a little bit while I waited for the others. Jim met us on the way down, and we continued into the village, then heading back the way we came. I felt pretty good on the little climbs on the way back, and we decided to turn right on Harmony Grove Village Dr to take it to Citracado Pkwy and get back to Valley Pkwy. From there, we headed back to the meet-up spot with Joe, dropped him off, then rode Centre City Pkwy back toward home. John and Jim were slower, I was still feeling okay. Made good, not great, time over the freeway and stayed above 10 mph on the climb toward the park. Then I was slow back to my house, where we split up and only Jim and I rode to his house for smoothies. Was a good ride for me, pretty hot by the time we finished.
