12-17-2022 Ride

Kinda weird ride on this day.  Started early, and it was pretty cold at the beginning, under 40.  Through the neighborhood to Matinal Rd and over to W Bernardo Dr.  Not rolling fast on this day.  Up to RB Rd, taking that little climb to get to the 4S Ranch neighborhood, where I initially rode all the way up to the water tower for the first time, then on a number of streets to get over to Four Gee Rd, taking it up to the top before turning around and riding to Camino del Sur.  Right there, up to Casey Glen and then over to Paseo del Sur to get to the Bisikleta starting point.  Large group at the start, here is who I remember: Robert, Fritz, his friend Robert, Andy, James, Zac, his friend Keedon, Audrey, her friend Chris, Chris Cantor, Edson, Eric, Darnell, and Arnold.  I had no idea about the route before we started.  Down Camino del Sur to San Dieguito Rd, then right on El Apajo, where we lost Darnell for a time.  I went and brought him back.  Over to Calzada del Bosque, taking this up that short, steep little hill to Linea del Cielo.  Into RSF, where we headed away from the village on La Granada.  At a pause point where everybody got caught up, I turned around and started heading back to get home and get ready for Elaine Davis' funeral mass.  Back the way I came into RSF, staying on Via de Santa Fe back to El Apajo and then up Three Witches, very slowly.  I had lost both short-fingered gloves on the downhill, and Robert helped me find one on the way down, so I rode back up looking for the other one and finding it.  Route retraced back to Four Gee Rd, turning there and again taking a number of turns through that neighborhood until coming onto RB Rd via Town Square Pkwy.  Back into our neighborhood, staying on Matinal Rd until Hada Rd and then getting over to Duenda Rd and home the normal way from there.  No real attempts at sustained high output on this ride.
