2026 Diablo Day 36 - Saturday Morning Juniper

That anemia treatment is still yielding results. Today I figured I'd do an easy ride to Junction so I'd have plenty left for Juniper... never sure that's going to work, but it did today. After a few more Junipers, I'll go for a Muir.

I sold my Klein this week; almost 25 years of being my best bike - dozens of centuries, STP, charity rides, and probably a thousand times up Mt. Diablo.  Didn't get as much as he was worth, but he went to a nice guy who was really excited and always wanted a Quantum Pro, so everybody's happy. The nice folks at Trek Alamo boxed it up and it shipped on Bike Flights to Maryland, so I'll probably never see him again. 

Saw a lot of riders coming down - probably started early to beat the heat... but it still wasn't too bad yet.

Hey, check out this progress report on the Danville trail improvements - this will solve a long-standing safety issue with bikes on Diablo Road near the park entrances: https://danvilletowntalks.org/diablotrail


ME!  My new bike Roxanne makes me happy.

The Mountain really starts here.


Oh yeah... gwine be a hot one.


I always call this "Tank Road"... because it goes to the water tank just out of site... but I think it's part of Summit Trail, hence the crosswalk.
