Day 3 of the #kateepic No skunks this time but tons of wind - cold wind! Had to put on an extra layer because it felt colder than advertised. I couldn't believe what a slog it was to get from when the trail exits Dumbarton to Tidelands. A lot of that had to do with the wind but it still felt like forever. I didn't really feel like doing a lot of climbing which is why I chose this route but I couldn't resist checking out the view at the top of Coyote Hills tallest peak. The climb up is 19% and the gravel is loose and chunky. I managed to go steadily enough to maintain traction. Going back down was kinda sketchy but I made it. The tailwind on the levee was glorious. Unfortnately, the rest of the return was not. I ended up catching a commuter train and might have worked harder than I wanted to. :)
