Woke up with no motivation for exercising, so I decided to delay it until later. Worked on the path in the front yard for a little bit, then had some breakfast and chilled out. After Ann left for the beach, I rode to the WWC for a swim. Arms were really tired, so I did two 500s, with a short break in between, and called it a day. Here are the splits for the two 500s: 9:29, 9:16. Got a bean and cheese burrito from Cotijas and had it for lunch while watching TV. Then I went out and looked at the spa to see how easy it was to remove the jets. Turns out it's pretty easy. There are five styles, but on the Cal Spas website I couldn't see which replacement parts would work. Also, most of the jets seem to be in decent shape, except for the ones that are supposed to have a directional nozzle. More research needed. Heard back from Big Agnes about our tent, and they reported they couldn't fix the zipper because the teeth were damaged. We will need to decide whether to buy a replacement tent body from them, I think we will do that. I watched a little more TV and read some in the afternoon before heading over to RB Community Park to meet Paula for a late afternoon ride. She was about 10 minutes late, and she brought jerseys and shorts to try on for the charity ride kit in August, so we didn't get started until about 4:50. It was our first ride together after her accident, and it was a slow one. Down the hill and over to Highland Valley Rd, taking the flats out and back before then turning left onto Pomerado Rd and riding up to Paseo del Verano Norte, where we turned left and climbed that little hill, following the road to Bernardo Winery. I had mapped out a route in Strava beforehand but didn't know where the connector was between this neighborhood and the Valle Verde neighborhood. We eventually found it as a sidewalk next to the winery and took it to Old Winery Rd. Another climb here, again not a long one, to get us to Valle Verde Rd, where we turned right. This is a pretty fancy neighborhood, some more little climbs before a nice descent to Espola Rd, where we turned left. Rode up to Bridlewood Rd and used it to get to Summer Sage Rd (another little climb, she was slowing down more on each one). We followed this to Lake Poway Rd, turned right there and then left onto Riparian Rd to get to Titan Way, then back to Espola Rd near its top. Another nice descent to Twin Peaks Rd, turning right there and staying on it and Camino del Norte up to Paseo Lucido. With the little bumps on Twin Peaks Rd, Paula was really slowing down, and that gave me the feeling that we would cut the route short. There was a group of kids on e-bikes with a deflated basketball on Camino del Norte, and Paula almost hit the basketball as it came into the road, which was scary for her. Stayed on Paseo Lucido all the way to its bottom, then turned right onto Bernardo Heights Pkwy and right again on Bernardo Center Dr. We stopped at the Carl's Jr so she could use the restroom, and it was here that I proposed cutting the route. From here, it was the normal way back to W Bernardo Dr, then the nice downhill and finish by the park. Was a nice, easy ride, with very good riding temperatures.

Had a bowl of stew for dinner when I got home, watched some TV and snacked to get some extra calories in before heading off to bed.
