Kevin’s off at Disneyland with his sister today, so it was time for a solo ride to the coast, up over Old LaHonda, Haskins to Pescadero, Stage to San Gregorio but then a bit of a change, heading back up 84 instead of Tunitas.

It was an interesting day on the roads; surprisingly-few cars for such a nice day. I did wear leg warmers the entire time, but could have dispensed with them for the return from San Gregorio. The LaHonda duck pond had a couple of interesting birds sitting on pieces of wood, as seen in the photo above. They seemed completely content to just sit there, motionless, pointed in different directions.

The winds were… interesting. Mild headwind going into Pescadero, as usual, but the Stage Road headwind was mostly a no-show. Caught a few breezes here & there but nothing consistent. Slight tailwind heading back up 84, but the strangest thing happened at the top- it changed directions! I had a pretty strong headwind descending 84 into Woodside. Odd thing, that.
