Ladybug Apocalypse and Butterfly Kisses - Soquel and Eureka Canyon

It was forecasted to be hot and it was HOT - right from the start of the ride. There was a brief chilly bit when we went right next to the coast after lunch but that didn't last long. Around Eureka Canyon there were ladybugs everywhere. Flying at me. Landing on me. Filling the air. I felt good the whole ride remembering to stay hydrated and luckily Bob was injured and Sonny was out of shape so we took it easy. Surprisingly it wasn't until we got back to the car, when it was the hottest it's been all day, that I started to really get affected. The last descent felt like I was being blast by a hot hair dryer. It was so uncomfortable.
