Got up and planned to ride my new bike after trying to fix the rear brake to keep it from sticking. Headed through the neighborhood to Matinal Rd, then over to W Bernardo Dr to get to RB Rd. I took it down to Bernardo Center Dr to get to Bernardo Heights Pkwy. I was pretty slow on the climb up by the old country club, legs feeling it from the previous day. I took the normal route to Rob's house and met him by his garage. From there, we took his normal route back to Bernardo Heights Pkwy and then to Pomerado Rd. Down to Highland Valley Rd, where we turned and rode on the flats and then up the first climb. Rob was slow but steady on the climb, still on the recovery path but getting better. We stopped for a short break at the gate by Mia Marie Winery, then turned around and retraced our route. Rob was pretty fast on the flats back to Pomerado Rd, but I think he burned a few of his matches on that stretch. On the gradual climb back to Bernardo Heights Pkwy, he was slower, and he didn't have much left when we turned on that road. I generally rode with him, there was one stretch where I pushed a little harder and got some separation. We chatted briefly when we got back to the meet-up point, then I headed back the same way we came, other than taking Bernardo Center Dr to Duenda Rd, then riding down W Bernardo Dr to Aguamiel Rd. Felt fine on the ride, just tired.

It was a quiet late morning, I had a nap, then watched some of the summary from the last stage of the TdF. We talked to Laura in the afternoon, she sounded happy and has been really busy with travel, including a recent trip to Telluride for a conference where Joe was also there. <>
