Solo ride, through the neighborhood to Matinal Rd, to work and the back parking lot, where I met Blair in the afternoon for a ride. It was a little breezy on the way over, so I decided on a general route that headed south first, generally into the wind. We headed over to Camino del Norte, turned left and rode up to Carmel Mountain Rd. I was feeling some of the effects of having gone for a mile swim in the morning, and my quads were still a little tender from the hike. So, Blair pretty much matched my pace on this ride, except for a couple of the climbing sections, where he was only a little bit behind. We headed to Rancho Carmel Dr, turning right there and taking it to Sabre Springs Pkwy, nice general downhill for quite a while. Across Poway Rd, eventually turning at Springbrook Dr and starting uphill. This is a 1-mile climb at about 5% grade, and I took it slow and steady. Up to Scripps-Poway Pkwy, where we turned left and rode down, quite fast, to Pomerado Rd. Turned left there and headed over to Metate Ln, where we turned right and rode up to Community Rd. A left there, taking it to Twin Peaks Rd and then back to Camino del Norte. Again, I kept my effort modest on the little uphill stretches here. Then we retraced our route back to the starting point. Was good riding with Blair again, he's getting stronger as he puts more regular miles in. Home the normal way.
