The Rain Avoidance (Almaden) Loop

We wisely chose to stay south and inland as it was raining in Woodside and Palo Alto on my way down to Bob's.

There were showers throughout the day but nothing that ever got us wet. The heaviest rain happened while we were having lunch and after lunch it was sunny for a while.

The only issue was the strong headwinds. It was at least 100W more into the headwind and going at a much slower speed.

Overall it was a full success.
