World Bicycle Day. I woke up around 5:00, had gone to sleep early the previous night. Got ready for a ride over to John's house, where I left a little early and took an easier pace on the way. Standard route there, fairly slow and steady up that last little climb. He and Jayden were out, and Vivian came out just before we left. We headed back down the hill to Sabre Springs Pkwy, taking it over to the bike path that leads down to I-15. Then we rode up to Scripps-Poway Pkwy and went down the hill on Mercy Rd to Black Mountain Rd. Climbed from there up to the 56, John was particularly slow on this climb (he'd been doing yard work the previous days), and this was true throughout the ride. We rode to Carmel Mountain Rd and took a left there, enjoying a slight downhill over to CdS, where we turned left. We rode down to Park Village Rd, turned left there, and then headed back to Black Mountain Rd to complete a little loop. Right turn on Black Mountain Rd, taking it into Mira Mesa and up to Miramar Rd. A left turn there got us onto Pomerado Rd, and from there we took the usual way back to John's house. He was quite slow on this stretch, especially the last little climb, so I did some little loops through the neighborhood at the top of the climb while I waited for him. One minor modification to the way back, we turned on Candy Rose Way, which is more of a straight descent that I thought would be better for him. I stayed for smoothies and conversation with him and Vivian after that part of the ride. They showed me the landscaping work they are doing in their back yard., and we talked a little bit about their upcoming trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton NPs. Then I rode home, more slowly than usual, taking the usual way via Bernardo Center Dr.

Ann and the others were gone when I got home, I had a little time to relax before shaving, showering, and getting ready for my volunteer shift at the hospital. Ate lunch there, as usual. A new med tech, Matthew, came in at 3:00. Other than that, there were the usual nurses and techs. Got busy at the end, so I left a little bit late and got back home around 5:00. Emily and Caleb came over for dinner with us, Kathy, and Heather, and it was a nice dinner and conversation outside, although it got a little chilly. The conversation moved inside, and I listened for a while until they started talking about reality TV shows, at which point I went into the kitchen, finished cleaning, and then went upstairs.
