I had a late start trying to decide where to ride. The original forecast was showers throughout the day but this morning, it said they wouldn't start until 3p. I decided to take the gravel bike to Shoreline for lunch. I figured there were going to be puddles and mud. There were. One problem was that it was going to be too warm to wear all my normal rain gear but there was the chance for rain. In the end I decided to just wear it and be overdressed and a little too warm in case it rained. Instead the sun actually came out. I kept the layers on but it was warm in when I was stopped. When I was moving, I felt okay. I was just too lazy to take the stuff off and I thought I'd just have to put it back on. It turns out, it never rained and I never needed the full gear. There was light drizzle at times and I would've been fine without the rain gear. I was also testing my other, easier to walk in, gravel shoes but the cleat wasn't right on the left shoe. At first I thought I could live with it but it was already bugging my knee and it wasn't worth possibly causing an injury so I turned around and just rode with my regular shoes. On the way down I had a crosswind that felt like a headwind and on the way back it was an annoying headwind. Steven's Creek Trail was closed just after Moffet because of flooding so I ended up detouring to NASA Ames Research and Moffet Field. It took me onto the gravel fire road on the other side from Stevens Creek Trail, closer to Google which was cool since it was something new. On the way back, I tried to do the Sketch Sketchy back way to the Dumbarton side of Ravenswood but it was too muddy.
