Further up Dunne Avenue, well above Anderson Reservoir, looking back down toward Silicon Valley, Morgan Hill and San José.

The climb towards Henry Coe always gets slower the closer one gets. But I'm well up into the hills now and only have four or five miles (uphill) to go.

As usual during the summer months, it's a few degrees warmer up here than down in the valley below. I'm starting to practice drinking more water than usual (doesn't matter if it's not cold any more), a skill that is absolutely required in order to succeed in physically demanding hot-weather activities.
