Solo ride

It was warm in the sun, but cool in the wind and shade, though it was not chilly. I headed up Hwy 1. Initially, it seemed like there was a tailwind. By Dimeo, the wind was gone, but there was a sharp stench of manure and fertilizer from Dimeo to Bonny Doon Rd. By Laguna, there was a headwind all the way to Bonny Doon Rd. I turned right and headed up Bonny Doon and Pine Flat. At the top of Pine Flat, I turned right and headed down Empire Grade.

Solo ride

It was a sunny, breezy day, with the wind from the north. I headed up Hwy 9 and Glen Arbor to Boulder Creek, then Hwy 236 and Jamison Creek. I started up Jamison Creek at 1:09. Most of the climb was shielded from the wind, though there was a section with a headwind less than a half a mile from the top, which twisted into a section with a tailwind for a short while. At the very top, it was windy again. I got to the top just before 1:35 for a climb time of about 25:20 and headed back down Empire Grade.

Solo ride

It was a warm and sunny day. I headed up the coast by Davenport to Swanton Rd. For a long stretch somewhere between Dimeo Ln and Fambrini's, there was the smell of fertilizer. I rode the Swanton loop, then returned through Davenport and headed up Bonny Doon Rd. I took Martin Rd and Ice Cream Grade, then headed back down Empire Grade.
