Solo ride over to 4S Target, through the neighborhood and 4S Ranch neighborhood up to Ralphs Ranch Rd. Met up with the Bisikleta group, and on this day the riders were: Jed, Ray, Fritz, Robert (the one with the e-bike), Kamal, Sassan, Nel, and Irwin. This was a common route, over to San Dieguito Rd, down the hill, pace line through the flats to El Camino Real, then Via de la Valle to the coast. I was in the lead group for this first part, although I couldn't keep up my effort on the last little race to the Coast Hwy. There, we headed north to La Costa Ave. Most of the group turned around here, but Jed and I, who had been out in front for much of the ride past Encinitas, decided to continue riding north to Poinsettia Ln before turning around and heading back to the break spot at Cancun. It shortened the break for me, which was preferable. We continued south, at a generally slower pace than normal, nice for a little breather. Then it was up and into Del Mar, with me and Fritz getting out in front of the others and waiting for them to catch up. To Carmel Valley Rd, where we turned and headed over to the 56 bike path. From there, the route was as expected, back to Camino del Sur and returning to the starting point. I was able to hold a position with or near the leaders until just before Camino del Sur, when I couldn't stay up with Robert, Fritz, and Jed. On the way back, Sassan, Jed, and Robert got out ahead when we got stuck at a light, and I rode for some of the way with Fritz and Ray. Couldn't keep up with them on the climbing section starting before Paseo del Sur, just no push left in my legs. So I made do and got back to the starting place okay, just tired and with sore leg muscles. Slow ride back home via RB Rd to W Bernardo Dr. No muscle pain like last week, but I was pretty close to cramping up near the end. This was also the first ride in a while where the sun and temperature made its presence felt. Last 40 minutes of the ride had some sun and temperatures in the 70s, and I was sweating pretty good.
