The COP26 challenge was one of the Badge challenges. Fairly short ride that I completed but for some reason I did not get credit for all the rides. - Back in the 70's & 80's there would be a dusting of snow now and then and a good couple of inches once every ten years or so. Last time I saw snow in Aptos was about 20 yrs ago coming home from a trip down south at about 3AM. Snow was falling. Hwy 1 was being plowed from Freedom Blvd to Sea Cliff. It looked to be a mix of snow and hail. Rained about sunrise and all was gone soon after.

Rode to my favorite coffee shop for some cold brew with ground cinnamon. 😊
