The damn bugs on the trail were invading all my holes! There were so many bugs, I found some on my chapstick. At least one got stuck in my throat, tickling it and causing me to cough. At one point I turned back to hear what Bob was saying and went through a cloud of bugs, some of them going in my ear. And I definitely had bugs go up my nose, tickling it too and causing me to sneeze. On the way back instead of the crazy gusts forecasted, they just decided to make it a constant headwind! But there were some really nice sections of tailwind too, like on the path after the levee, and there was a some unexpected tailwind at the very end of the ride too. Also like last week, there were some sprinkles on the drive to Bob's but luckily it was minor and brief. It was, however, looking like the clouds were never going to clear. Thankfully it was only chilly at the start and right after lunch. The wind and the gray while crossing the levee at Coyote Hills was giving me Iceland vibes though. Around Newark or Fremont, the sun started to show its face.
