Solo ride over to Dave's house, riding across the freeway and taking the back way up to a place where I turned onto Centre City Pkwy and headed to Felicita Ave, turning left. Headed down to Montview Dr and turned there, but it didn't go through, so I turned around and headed back to Redwood St to get to Montview Dr again and over to Dave's place. Met up with John and Jim as well, and we headed out on the Escondido time trial route. I wasn't pushing too hard at the start, but John was motoring and Dave was there with him, so I hung on with them. Decent time up to the turn at Deer Springs, and my legs were starting to feel it from the previous day's ride. On the way back into town, it was mostly John and me trading leads, getting ahead of the others. On the way through town, we had pretty good luck hitting the lights, so I tried to pace John back to the starting place. He was able to keep up a good pace but not quite at my speed, still making the lights. He ended up with a fast time, under an hour, felt good about it. Smoothies at Dave's house before I headed back home the normal way, keeping it above 10 mph on both little climbs but feeling it on the last bit. Subsequent analysis of my Strava data indicated my time for the time trial, starting and ending at Dave's house, was 56:48, and that included the little diversion when I rode into the gas station by Deer Springs and threw my banana peel away. Might be a PR for this time trial route.
