5 January 2013

Solo ride

It was cold with low clouds so that it was almost foggy. The roads were wet. I headed up Hwy 9 and there was the smell of wood smoke at many places. I took Glen Arbor to Ben Lomond and continued up Hwy 9 to Boulder Creek. I took Hwy 236 and started up Jamison Creek at 12:23. The combination of wetness, steepness, and debris on the road caused my rear wheel to slip a number of times. I got to the top at 12:49 for a time of approximately 25:29. After the tough climb, the wind on Empire Grade was quite cold. It was still cold and overcast when I got back, but the roads were a little less wet.
