Flight into San Diego arrived a little bit ahead of schedule. I was able to get just a little sleep on the plane, not much. Watched a couple of episodes of
Ozark to pass the time. I was a little too impatient to get off the plane and ended up leaving my tablet in the seat pocket. Damn it! I didn't realize until I got home, and by that time it was likely too late to expect getting it back. I did file a loss report and crossed my fingers. To cool off I took a ride to meet up with the Bisikleta riders on their route. James had his live track on, so I figured I would meet them on Highland Valley Rd. Headed down by the park and over Pomerado Rd to Highland Valley Rd, then took the flats to near the base of the first climb. As I got there the first riders passed me going the other way, so I waited until the last riders were past me and turned around to catch up with them. Chatted a little bit with Paula, who slowed down to wait for me. We rode back up to Pomerado Rd, turned left and headed up to where I thought we were supposed to turn. But Paula had us turning sooner, so I took a U-turn and rode back to Bernardo Trails Dr and turned right, meeting up with the others. This road is pretty steep at times, and Fritz and I were in the lead as we climbed up to a point where we turned right on Aceituno St. Then it was a series of descents and climbs on streets to Avenida Marbella. We turned left on Camino Ramillette, which got us to Paseo del Verano. A descent to the Bernardo Winery complex, some of the riders went past the turn, so I rode to them and directed them back to the turn to stop at Manzanita Coffee Roasters for a break. This break took longer than usual, I shared some of my experience from the Haleakala climb with a couple of the riders. The original route had us riding up past Poway High School, but the consensus was to shorten the ride since we were planning on meeting afterwards for lunch. So we turned left on Paseo del Verano and took it back to Pomerado Rd, turning left there and riding down to RB Rd. A right turn there got us on the usual way back to the starting point from there, and that's what we did. I waited at a couple of spots to make sure everybody was okay, so Paula and I were the last ones to arrive at the parking lot. We had lunch at Harland Brewing Co near our starting point. I had a root beer and a couple of crackers that Paula brought, but I didn't want to eat or drink that much. Decent conversation, I chatted with her, Ray, and James, who were sitting down at my end of the table. Gideon showed up later, and we talked for a bit as well. From there I rode home via the RB Rd and W Bernardo Dr route.

Got home and ate a little something more. I also spent some time doing a remote lock-out of my tablet, in the expectation that I would never see it again and didn't want others access to my information. The rest of the afternoon and evening were quiet. I read a fair amount and watched just a little TV.
