We couldn't decide where to ride today. We were trying to avoid doing any back roads up in the mountains in case there were any mud slides or downed trees. Since I had done the loop around the southern tip of the bay a couple times recently, we decided to go down to Morgan Hill. Before we started, I found a dead bird on Bob's driveway. A bad omen for the ride. Once again, it was difficult to figure out what to wear. I ended up adding layers, and although it was warmer than our Santa Cruz ride where I wore the same amount, I felt cold... until all of a sudden I didn't. But once we got into the ride and temps normalized, everyone was feeling comfortably and perfectly dressed. Santa Clara County pro - lots and lots of bike lanes. Con - the put their trash, mostly yard litter, in said bike lanes. That and the recent storm left a lot of branches and debris in the bike lanes to dodge. We decided to cut out the Uvas Reservoir loop because it was looking like we might not make it back before sunset. We had a nice tailwind on the way back from lunch in Morgan Hill. Normally it's a headwind so being able to zip through the boring garbage miles on the way back was nice. I think that also helped get us back well before sunset. We could've even done the extra loop and would've gotten back in time. Oh, and remember the dead bird at the start? Nothing bad ended up happening... luckily. :P
