This was an out-and-back 200k solo ride starting in San Jose, going up Mt Hamilton, backside to San Antonio Valley, then through Del Puerto Canyon to Patterson. Normally it's hotter than hell there this time of the year, but a weird weather condition brought these clouds and 70F-ish temperatures. The clouds really put on a light show.

Solo Century

Recent solo century here in lovely Midcoast Maine.

Visited the narrow gauge railroad museum in Newcastle. And got to see the Alewives heading upstream to spawn! Great day on the bike!

The weather has been pretty glorious for the last few weeks! Breezy, sunny and generally mid-60's.

Nice photos - my "social bubble" have been considering a similar route because of the cooler than normal weather as well.

Overall it was a good week of riding. I did get rained/drizzled on 3 days in a row, Thursday was the worst though.





These guys were so cute after their haircuts!





Ended today's ride with a stop at the shop for a beer. Only 4 miles to go after this but it always makes for a slow 4 miles.
