Thanksgiving Bisikleta ride, heading through the neighborhood to the 4S Target, riding through the r@ Ranch neighborhood as well. On this ride were: Rob, Kamal, Jamil, Cheng, Jed, and Eric. The temperature was about 10 degrees warmer at the starting location from when I left home, and it was windy. We headed to Paseo del Sur, turning left onto Del Sur Ridge Rd to get to Lone Quail Rd. Over to Dove Canyon Rd, taking it down to Carmel Valley Rd and passing by an organized Turkey Trot. Up to Black Mountain Rd, turning left there and taking it through Mira Mesa. I kept it really slow on the downhill after crossing the 56 because the crosswinds were making my bike move all over the road. Jed and Kamal were riding well, staying near the front, as was Eric. I tried to hang out in the middle to make sure everybody was keeping generally together. Kearny Villa Rd to Miramar Rd, where we turned left and stopped for a break at a gas station. Jamil was feeling nauseous and Cheng was also suffering. Kamal got Jamil straightened out regarding what he was drinking, and we headed up Pomerado Rd into a headwind. Near the top of the climb, the wind was really fierce and right in our faces. I got to the top first, but it was a real workout. By the time Cheng got to the top, he was in poor shape. Had a stomach ache and needed to lie down, so we convinced him to call his family and come pick him up at his brother-in-law's house, which was off Stonebridge Pkwy. We all rode down there to drop him off, then we continued back to Pomerado Rd and down to Scripps-Poway Pkwy. My bike was really wobbling, and I rode the brakes the whole way down. Near the bottom of the hill, I noticed my rear tire was flat, and everybody was far in front of me, so I texted them and started to fix it. Kamal rode back and got there as I was putting the wheel back on and pumping it up, then Jamil also showed up. The three of us continued on, but not too long after, near the intersection with Stowe Rd, my rear tire tube blew out and I decided enough was enough. Called Ann and asked her to come pick me up while the others continued on the originally planned route. Not a great cycling day at all.
