Was awake early (<>), had some breakfast before getting ready to ride over to John's house. I rode up Aguamiel Rd and then over to W Bernardo Dr, taking it to RB Rd. From there, it was the usual way to his place. I had a little bit of a late start, so I kept a fairly fast pace and got over there just before 7:30. From there, we headed back down the hill and over Sabre Springs Pkwy to the 56 bike path. We took it all the way to its end, then over to Carmel Valley Rd. Fairly early on the path, we met another guy who was riding at about our pace, and we traded leads with him all the way down. We took Carmel Valley Rd up to PCH, turning left and then riding up the inside route for Torrey Pines. I was at medium speed on the first steep section, waited for John near the top of the climb, then we rode together on the shallower section back over to Torrey Pines Rd. We took John Jay Hopkins Dr to get to Genesee Ave, then rode toward UTC, turning left onto Eastgate Mall and using it to get to Miramar Rd. For a time, I rode a little faster, getting out ahead of him, then I slowed down and waited for him to catch up. We rode back to his house the normal way up Pomerado Rd. I hit the green light at Scripps-Poway Pkwy at speed and almost had a collision with a car coming from the other direction and making a left turn. Was a little scary but not too much. Smoothies when we got back to his place, then I rode home the normal way from there, including turning right on Bernardo Center Dr. Legs felt fine on the ride, I was more tired than usual, probably because of the longer bike ride on the previous day.

I didn't have a lot of time when I got home to get ready for my volunteer shift. Ate some lunch, had a shave and a shower, and it was time to leave. Nothing really noteworthy during the shift, which started slowly and was really busy at the end. I did see, for the first time, a patient getting shocked with the paddles. That was quite intense. In the evening, Ann and I spent more than an hour packing our food into the plastic bags to protect it from the tenting process scheduled for the weekend. I was pretty wiped out at the end of this day.
