[IZ] Marin Headlands Bike, 7/3

Dist: 21.5 miles
Time: 1:45
Avg: 12.3 MPH

The usual route.

Very foggy today, maybe 100 ft. visibility. Dew made my glasses unusable so I took them off.

Biking up the headland was eerie. I couldn't tell how far along I was. I couldn't see anything to my left where the bay would usually be. It was quiet except for the occasional rush of wind and bleats of the fog horns, one long, two short. And, occasionally an enormous shape would congeal from the mist, a big tree or rock outcropping.

On the other side there were lots and lots of rabbits by the road. At least 10, maybe more. Small ones. I scared a group that fled in all directions when I whizzed by. There was a deer. And a flock of quail.

It was a nice ride.
