Solo ride

It was cold and mostly cloudy as I started up Hwy 1. Going by a pumpkin patch, there was the stink of manure. At Bonny Doon Rd, I turned right and headed up and out of the clouds. On two occasions, the air was fouled by the stench of diesel exhaust. At Empire Grade, I turned right and headed down.

Solo ride

It was warm and sunny. I headed up Hwy 9 to Felton, then climbed Felton-Empire to Empire Grade, then returned down Empire Grade. The light was green as I approached Heller, but a car on Heller was approaching the intersection, so I sprinted for it, and the light didn't change until after I was past the intersection.

Solo ride

It was cloudy and chilly as I started north on Hwy 1. At Bonny Doon Rd, I turned right and headed up and was soon out of the clouds, but it was still cold in the shade. I continued up Pine Flat to Empire Grade, then turned right and headed back down.
