Rode with Eugene Kung and Craig Hill. The three of us went at a good pace in the cool morning air. The first climb was Gilroy Hot Springs were we had a chance to warmup. The second climb was a major one and it was to the top of Henry Coe Park. We separated on the climb as it was long and hot now. Descending down and then turning onto Hale was hard as we had significant headwinds of +30pmh (my estimate). Found some other riders and we took turns at the front. Got to lunch stop to replenish and then took off for Hicks which was going to be a grind as we had headwind and a 1.6 mile steep climb. I got a flat on the way to Hicks and spent 1/2 hr replacing front tube. First spare tube stem was to short and had to use 2'nd one. Craig caught up to me and continued onto Hicks. I eventually got riding again and met Craig on top of Hicks. We then rode back to R/S and then back to Gavalian College. We lost Eugene before the lunch stop due to him having some stomach issues and he ended up doing the Century Route. The ride was great as the temps got up to the 80's, but the strong headwinds made it tough on the flats. The headwinds really benefited us getting back to the college as I was barley pedaling, but traveling 23+mph back to the start.
