The parking for Lexington Reservoir was already almost full when we arrived this morning. I think there was some sort of rowing event going on. It was pleasant to start but much cooler on Summit Rd. and it was chilly on the Soquel San Jose descent all the way to lunch at Gayle's. Gayle's was pretty busy too. They were serving 30 numbers ahead of the number I got. And during lunch, I was actually getting goose bumps inside. I was not looking forward to going outside. Fortunately, we could see patches of blue sky just as we finished eating and the sun came out as we got going. I still had to put on my vest until we got through Aptos. After that was when the roads really started to get progressively worse - worse than they've been in the past which is saying something since Eureka Canyon has always been terrible. It seemed like we were back in the good old days of riding on the moon. Earlier in the ride, I was thinking how it's been kind of chilly and wintry feeling on so many of our rides this year. But once we got to Demo Forest, it warmed up so we stopped at The Summit Store for some ice cream before finishing off the ride.
