Solo ride

It was overcast and drizzly, though the roads were mostly dry at first. I headed up Hwy 9 through Felton, then took Glen Arbor to Ben Lomond, then continued to Boulder Creek, and heading out on Hwy 236. I started up Jamison Creek at 1:21 and the road was wet the entire way. Fortunately, my tires never slipped, although the road was wet enough for that to be a concern. I got to the top at 1:46 for a time of about 25:24. Empire Grade was mostly wet and I get pretty wet from the drizzle when going downhill. By the time I got to UCSC, it was becoming sunnier and drier. I had to stop for the red light at Heller for about 20 seconds though.
