Solo ride
It was overcast all morning, and the streets were wet, so I waited until the afternoon. It was still overcast when I started. I headed up Hwy 9. There were signs warning of a horse crossing that was also staffed by some people, so something was going on. By the time I got to Felton, the sun was shining. I continued up Hwy 9 and Glen Arbor to Boulder Creek, then headed up Hwy 236. I started up Jamison Creek at 1:49. There were a few small bunches of motorcyclists headed up and down, and I had to breathe their fumes. After the last bunch of motorcyclists, the only car went by. I got to the top at 2:13, for an estimated time of 23:52, my 3rd best time ever, and the first time under 24 minutes since 2008. I headed back on Empire Grade, and the skies had cleared by the time I got home. There was also a staffed horse crossing on Empire Grade between upper UCSC and Wilder Ranch.
