12-24-2022 Ride

Bisikleta ride, heading over the normal way via the 4S Ranch neighborhood to the Target.  On this ride, there were: Ray, Robert, Arnold, Zac, Eric, Al, Fritz, Jed, and Nel.  We headed down to San Dieguito Rd, turning right there and dropping down to the bottom of the hill.  Waiting there, it turned out that Zac, Fritz, and Al had not made the turn, so we kept going in a fairly well ordered pace line over to El Camino Real and then to Via de la Valle.  Took it to the coast and turned on the Coast Hwy, with a brief stop at the turn.  I was pushing the pace pretty hard, along with Jed.  Then it was up into and through Del Mar, turning on Carmel Valley Rd and dropping down to the stoplight, where we waited for the others coming the other way.  They made it pretty soon, and they turned around to ride with us while we headed back to El Camino Real and then north.  I slowed down here and didn't try to stay with the leaders.  Around this time, a group of SDBC riders came up on us and passed us, with one of them bumping into me on the way past.  Down into the flats and then back onto San Dieguito Rd, with another fairly decent pace line back to the gas station, where folks decided to stop for a break.  Then it was up Three Witches at a fairly decent clip, with enough reserves to make up ground on Jed in the final section and catch him.  Fritz and Zac were way ahead of me, much faster.  I stayed with the leaders from there back to the starting point and finished at the front with Fritz.  Then it was home at a fairly decent clip, where Eric stopped by later to pick up the shoes that I had repaired for him.
