Solo ride over to the back parking lot at HP, following the normal route, where I met up with Blair for a Tuesday afternoon ride, since I would be out of town on Thursday. We headed over to Camino del Norte and turned left, riding up to Carmel Mountain Rd. On this ride, I kept it dialed back for the most part, since I was still recovering from the COVID booster and knew I would be doing another ride on Wednesday morning. We turned right on Carmel Mountain Rd and then right again on Rancho Carmel Dr, taking it down to Sabre Springs Pkwy and keeping on this road until turning right onto Springhurst Dr. Steady up this climb, taking it to Springbrook Dr and turning left there. It was at this point that I decided to turn right onto Scripps-Poway Pkwy, and this was a pretty good choice. We climbed a little further and then benefited from a long downhill, into the wind, to get to the bike path that parallels I-15. Right there, taking it over to Poway Rd and staying on this road until Oak Knoll Rd, which we used to get to Pomerado Dr. Left turn there, taking it all the way to Bernardo Heights Pkwy, where we turned left and rode up this short climb (about a mile, but only the first part is steep) before descending to Bernardo Center Dr. Then it was another steep little pitch to get back to the parking lot. Legs held out fine. I rode home the normal way.

Checked out and started reading Wayward, the second book in Blake Crouch's Wayward Pines trilogy. This was after finishing the first book, Pines, in the trilogy. In the first book, Ethan Pines, an FBI special agent, finds himself in Wayward Pines, Idaho and can't get out of the town or contact his family or his office. He does find his ex-lover, Kate Hewson, living in the town but apparently having aged by fifteen years. He finds an electric fence surrounding the town and discovers the complex outside the fence that controls the town, led by billionaire David Pilcher. At the end he is reunited with his wife Theresa and son Ben, who were also transported to the village after being in cryosleep for a long time.
