Bisikleta ride, starting from home and riding by Robert's to pick him up. Through the 4S Ranch neighborhood to the starting point. On this ride, there were: Ray, Arnold, Andy (met us on the way), Perse, Eric, Charlie, Jed, Fritz, James, Robert, Gio, Jhonar, Nestor, Tony, David (new rider) and Levi. Fairly simple ride, down to San Dieguito Rd, where I was first up the CdS bump (I think Perse let me be first). A decent pace line on the flats before we got to El Camino Real. Over to Via de la Valle, taking it down to the coast. Then we headed north to the Carlsbad Starbuck's, pretty fast pace including a sprint section just before La Costa Ave. Turned around there and rode back, with a little bit of a headwind to deal with. I tried to stay near the front most of the time, including one stretch where I got behind Arnold and Jed around Cardiff and had to work really hard to catch up to them. Was successful eventually but it was an effort. On the return stretch, we recreated our route, and I led the group all the way from Via de la Valle back to San Dieguito Rd. Another well organized pace line back to the gas station in Fairbanks Ranch, not everybody was there but we kept together. On the Three Witches climb, I sat on Ray's wheel for most of it and then passed him on the third climb to finish pretty well, at 8:59, a new PR that was just one second faster than my previous PR. Finished strong on Camino del Sur, where Jed was the only one who kept up with me, and I was able to do a little speed increase at the end and put some distance between us near the finish. The ride home was okay, not super fast. My right knee, back side, was feeling a little stiff, but not painful. It held out okay. Took RB Rd down to W Bernardo Dr and then home the normal way from there.
