Early June Rain in the Mountains

A short break on a bike ride up in the Santa Cruz Mtns. just as a light rain shower started. The rain continued for the rest of the ride up here, but never too heavy. I usually stay out of this area when it's stormy due to the high winds and the muddy trails, but this storm was calm and the trails stayed dry.
