Solo ride

I headed up Hwy 9 and Glen Arbor to Boulder Creek. It was chilly and overcast, with a little headwind. Then, I turned left at Hwy 236. I started up Jamison Creek at 12:20. Around the 1.66 sign, I thought my rear tire was going soft. I didn't stop to check. At times, it seemed like it was flat, at other times it seemed fine. I think I psychologically felt a drag from thinking the tire was going flat. However, I made it to the top at 12:45, faster than I expected, and, upon checking, my rear tire was fine. It was still chilly and overcast for most of the return on Empire Grade, though, at the end, the sun was starting to cut through the clouds.
