Solo ride over to Robert's house through the neighborhood, using the normal route up Capilla Rd. I met him and his friend David, and we met Gideon at his house on the way over to the 4S Target to meet up with the others. There was confusion about start time, so we ended up waiting for quite a while before starting. On this ride were: Robert, David, Gideon, Kamal, Jamil, Jed, Ray, Andy, James, Zac, and Mer. We headed on Camino del Sur to the 56 bike path and then down to El Camino Real. Then it was up to Del Mar Heights and down into the flats on San Dieguito Rd. There we formed a pace line that kinda worked, although there was some separation because the pace was too high. We stopped for an extended break at the turn onto El Apajo, then rode up to Via de la Valle and the Stud Loop to get to Paseo Delicias. From there, it was up Del Dios Hwy. I was able to stay with Ray but not with Zac. Was slower up this climb than previous times, maybe it was the cool weather. On the way to Via Rancho Pkwy, we took Rancho Dr to Lake Dr down by Lake Hodges. The first part of this is downhill and nice, then there is a slight rolling section that is also nice. But it finishes with a short, sharp climb back up, and I was struggling on this section. Back to Via Rancho Pkwy, which we took across the freeway to the Chevron station for a final break before heading back via the pedestrian bridge, not my favorite. We rode by my house and through the neighborhood on the way back, and I stayed with the group until we got to Capilla Rd, where Robert, Mer, Gideon, and David split off and I turned around to retrace my route back home. I was feeling some twinges in my legs near the end of the ride, so I think I called it correctly not to ride all the way back to the meet-up spot.
