We did a nice casual bike ride this morning. An 11 mile loop from Capitola CA toward Santa Cruz, around the yacht harbor and back to Capitola along the coast road.

It's a nice way to start the weekend and clear the work-week mind.

We're feeling the effects of Tropical Storm Jova surprisingly since it's so far south and west of us. We finished a bit before a light rain came through, although we could see that it was raining to the south as we looped back.

Aptos bike ride this morning with friends. A nice way to start a holiday weekend.

The photo is from Manresa State Beach looking north toward Capitola and Pleasure Point.

Kathy and I are getting ready for the Wharf to Wharf race. This will be about our 12th in a row, less the pandemic canceled races. This year is the 51st annual race. It starts at the Santa Cruz wharf and Beach Boardwalk and courses along the coast ending 6 miles later at the Capitola wharf.

While the elite runners are competing for time and prize money, most of the rest of us are out for fun, often stopping for a bit to listen to the 50 or so bands that play along the route.

The race is limited to 16,000 participants but it's divided into corrals so while packed for the first mile or two it's reasonably open.

Kathy and I did a casual bike ride today and stopped at Gayles Bakery in Capitola for a brief rest and water. If you don't know about Gayles, it's worth a visit. It's pretty much a Santa Cruz county institution.

Also a view of Capitola from New Brighton State Beach. It shows one of the low tides where one can briefly walk from New Brighton to Capitola. Mostly, that's not a recommended thing to do.

Views from New Brighton State Park during a water break on the bike ride this morning.

Pleasure Point is one of the better surfing spots in the Santa Cruz area.
