After a hiatus of a few weeks due to rain and my trip to Phoenix, I got to ride with my Tuesday group. We started down in Gilroy so I took my e-assist bike to meet them there. We headed across the valley to the hills on the east side then did some climbing on some beautiful and lightly-trafficked country roads. It ended up being a 4 1/2 hour, 57-mile ride for me, including the extra mileage to and from Gilroy. I was tired afterward, but I recovered nicely overnight.

Old truss bridge on Gilroy Hot Springs Road. The hot springs, a famous resort in the area in its heyday, were bought by Henry Coe state park but have yet to be refurbished. so the road temporarily ends here.
