HOT!

Can you believe it is ALMOST the 4th?

Many riders training for Markleeville.

Turkey parade - I stopped traffic behind me and the cars enjoyed the entertainment as well.

Hi Rick!

2025 Diablo Day 25 - Saturday Morning Junction

Perfect weather today - just right for arm warmers on the way up.

 

This guy was smoooooth

These two put up a valiant effort, but I managed to pass them before Junction.

2025 Diablo Day 24 - Saturday Morning Junction

After DNFing last week from the heat, I was ready for today.

JB and I decided to go a little earlier just in case we got another heat wave.

Weather was a little chilly at the bottom, then sunny and a little warmer at altitude.

I had a spinal tap for my research program on Wednesday and I was still a little sore.

OK, no more excuses.  RIDE!

Wildlife Encounter:  half a dozen turkeys.  Two of them had their necks wrapped around each other and I couldn't tell if they were fighting or mating. Interesting parallel with my date night movie later in the evening: Fatal Attraction. Unfortunately the Diablo Bike Cam missed the shot.
