Solo ride

It was clear and cool in the shade. I headed up Hwy 9 through Felton, took Glen Arbor to Ben Lomond, and continued to Boulder Creek, then headed out on Hwy 236. I started up Jamison Creek at 12:38 and got to the top at 1:04, for a time of 25:07. With about 1.2 miles to go on the climb, which was just after the left curve following the steep right-hander at 1.33 miles to go, it opened up to a headwind that persisted until about .8 miles to go, when the mountains again were a shield from the wind. At the top, I turned left and headed down Empire Grade.
