Solo ride over to Dave's house, taking the freeway and the route behind the mall. I didn't feel fast on that stretch, but I got there in just 20 minutes of riding time. Met up with Dave and Jim, and we rode the Escondido time trial route. Pretty good success with traffic lights on the way out through Escondido, and I was taking advantage, pushing a good pace. The others were right there until we got out by the high school, and the slight ascent slowed them down more than me. I hung back a little but eventually rode at my pace, including the little climb past Country Club Ln. On the following climb up to Deer Springs Rd, I tried to monitor my power and keep it at 250 W or above, and that helped me to have a fast segment. Legs were tired from the previous day, but I was able to climb okay, having to get out of the saddle more than I would have preferred. On the return back through Escondido, I kept pushing the pace but getting out ahead of Dave and Jim, then slowing down to give them time to catch up. Eventually, I decided to ride at my own pace, and I ended up with a time of 57:20, which might be a new PR for this time trial route. Ride home was uneventful, was able to keep it above 10 mph on the last two little climbs, but it was an effort, as usual.
Avg speed = 17.7 mph. Total mileage = 27.0 mi
