After 3 weeks of rainy days and a few weeks of high temps in the 40s before that, today was the nicest day of riding in a long time with the temperature in the low 50s, out and back thru the suburbs and along the MUT overlooking the San Joaquin River bottom. After I took this picture, a coyote crossed the pass less than 100 feet behind me, but he was down the bluff and out of sight before I could snap a pic.
