Last Rides of The Old Year and First of The New

Last Tuesday, the 30th of December, was our last group ride of the year. I pinch-hitted as leader and took the group SouthWest of Morgan Hill to the end of Redwood Retreat road and back. It was a nice ride, the rains from the week before had ended, but it got a bit grey because another series of storms was on its way.

Wednesday I snuck in a ride while we still had scattered showers. I cut my ride short when the main storm hit, and finished up on my indoor bike. Thursday was my first ride of the New Year. It was grey but not raining yet (that happened later in the day) so I was able to get a decent ride in locally.

Yesterday we unexpectedly got some sunshine in between storms so I got in a nice two hour ride, starting off the New Year well. I took some video footage during this ride, and all the pictures below are stills from the videos, which are decent quality.
