Up to HP site the normal way, second ride on my new bike. It felt fine and responsive on the climbing sections on the way there. To the back parking lot, where I met Blair and showed him the new purchase. Then we headed out Bernardo Center Dr, generally into the wind although it wasn't feeling really breezy. Bike was a little squirrely on the downhill to Dove Canyon Rd but controllable. Then I took an easy pace up the little climbs, only getting out in front of Blair a little bit. We continued down Carmel Valley Rd and stayed on it all the way to the 56 bike path, starting to head back from there and again staying together on our pace. We stayed on the path to Black Mountain Rd and beyond, turning off at Salmon River Rd to get over to Paseo Montalban and then to Black Mountain Rd. Steady pace on this stretch, and I got out a little bit ahead of Blair on the climb around the turn onto Carmel Valley Rd, but I kept it slow near the top and he caught up. Fast on the downhill, with a little bit of a tailwind. We turned on Dove Canyon Rd and took that road back to RB Rd, turning right and then another right onto Via del Campo (this road is in terrible shape) to get back to the site. On the ride home, I took W Bernardo Dr all the way to Aguamiel Rd and then home from there, not exactly sure why. The bike rode really well.
