Solo ride over lunch, was planning to ride with Avi but couldn't get our schedules to match up. So I went by myself, heading out of the back parking lot to Bernardo Center Dr and then to Camino del Norte. Turned left and rode up to Twin Peaks Rd and then to Espola Rd. It was a warm day and the sun was out for most of this ride. Left turn there and up to High Valley Rd, where I turned right and started up the more serious grade. This climb is only about a mile before it levels out, but it seems longer. Most of it over 7%, some double digit sections. But I was able to get up there in lowest gear without having to weave across the road. Soon, I will explore just how far these roads go and whether they can connect me to the 67. In the meantime, I followed it to Markar Rd and then to Eastvale Rd, not all the way to its end, but that's not the way to get through. Then I turned around and rode the reverse route back to the starting point. I was slow on the little climbs back, the heat and gradients had taken something out of me.
