09-05-2022 Ride

Ride over, the normal way, to Gideon's, where I met up with him, Fritz, and Jhonar for what was supposed to be an easy Labor Day ride.  We headed down to Poblado Rd, turning left and taking it to Duenda Rd and then to Escala Rd.  We started out kinda slow, taking the little climbs easy.  On the Escala steep little climb, Fritz got out ahead and I had to work hard to catch up with him by the stop sign.  Then to Pomerado Rd, turning right and heading to the Albertson's to wait for Levi.  Then we took RB Rd up to Lake Poway, we kept the pace steady, I got out a little ahead around the turn, then waited for them to catch up as we rode up to Lake Poway to the top.  Fritz and I were pushing it all the way to the top, and the others came up after.  A short break there, then we retraced our route down to the Albertson's by Pomerado Rd.  We waited there for Tony to meet us, and then we continued on Pomerado Rd down to Highland Valley Rd.  I wasn't sure if I wanted to include this segment, but I ended up going anyway.  Okay on the flats, trying to stay and Jhonar and Gideon, who were pushing the pace.  Once we got to the climb, Fritz and I were together and the others were trailing.  Fritz did a fantastic job getting up this hill, as we stayed pretty much at the same pace.  The others caught up, and we rode up to the Bandy Canyon Rd turnoff before turning around and riding back to Pomerado Rd.  I was feeling fine, legs a little sketchy but holding up.  Then we rode back to Albertson's, and it was Tony's turn to push the pace, so I worked hard to catch up with him and match his pace.  Coffee at Starbuck's, and Levi and Tony finished there while the other four of us rode back to Gideon's house to finish their ride.  Then I rode home via the W Bernardo Dr route, glad to be done with this one as it was starting to heat up and be more humid than usual.
