Solo ride over to Robert's house to meet up with him and head to the 4S Target, taking the route through 4S Ranch neighborhood. Robert was leading this ride, and I was the sweeper. On this ride were: Robert, James, Dilson, Pio (Dilson's friend), Valentin (Rob's friend), Zac, Audrey, and Nel. Audrey had already ridden about 15 miles before our start. We headed down to San Dieguito Rd, and it was chilly at the start, not so bad from Target but others were complaining. Down to El Apajo, where Zac missed a turn and several others rode out to catch him. At this point, James got separated from us without our knowledge. We rode up to the Stud Loop, and I waited for James to catch up with us while the others took off. Once James got there, we took Paseo Delicias to the end of Stud Loop, and I rode down to find the last riders coming up before turning around and riding with them. Then it was back to Paseo Delicias and on to El Camino del Norte, riding over to Lago Lindo and turning left. We stayed on this road until turning left onto Avenida de Acacias and then right onto Via de la Cumbre. This connected to San Elijo Ave, and we did a left onto La Granada and a sharp right onto Rambla de Las Flores. This road has a short, sharp climb before getting to Linea del Cielo, where I stopped to tighten my chainring bolts. Turned right here and took it to Lomas Santa Fe and down past the freeway for a break at the gas station just beyond. Then we continued on to the Coast Hwy. I stayed back here to make sure that the later riders were supported, and we rode together for the most part into Leucadia, for another break at the 7-Eleven and Cancun. From there, the route back was a common one: back to Via de la Valle, then El Camino Real to San Dieguito Rd, where we had a nicely organized pace line back to the Fairbanks Ranch gas station. Short stop there before 3 Witches, where I started back and ended up catching all the others to finish first up the climb. Zac and Audrey were holding back, knowing that they were running 13 miles after the bike ride (!). Back to the starting point via Camino del Sur to Paseo del Sur and then Del Sur Ridge to Garretson St and the parking lot. Rob and I rode back together, and I took the neighborhood route back home. He told me about the new bike he is considering buying, and Officine Mattio. Looks like a nice bike. Not a fast-paced ride for me on this day, but it was a good day in general.
