Still no word from JB, solo ride to Junction, windy as all get-out. The worst wind was where there was a clear path from the west; so like around Curry Point and the helicopter pad where you can see Walnut Creek and Hwy 24 - I had to stop a couple times to avoid being blown into the ditch.
I had a nice clean chain though, because I did some bike maintenance earlier in the week - and my gear was in prime nick.
Signed up to donate blood next Sunday, so next Saturday I'll have to do some intervals to exploit that high hemoglobin count.
I've been seeing that sign about Diablo Multipurpose Trail improvements - so I finally checked out what they have planned: Danville Diablo Trail . They even have the bid docs for guys like me: Bid Docs $6 million worth of improvements! Seems like they just waited so long they have no more choice but to deal with the problems.
The work generally includes, but is not limited to, removal of trees, minor regrading, construction of a pedestrian/cycle trail, installation of hot mix asphalt, construction of drainage improvements including concrete vditches, drainage pipes, and inlets, installation of bioretention areas, traffic control, tree replacement planting, wildlife exclusion and cattle fencing, a drinking fountain and signs and other items that are required by the plans, standard specifications, or these Special Provisions.
- Start Date & Duration: Work is scheduled to begin Monday, March 3, 2025, and is expected to last 1–3 weeks. We anticipate completion by March 7, 2025, with a firm end date no later than March 20, 2025.

| I don't really use this kind of data for training purposes - but it's obvious that I'm not putting out the kind of numbers I used to. |
