2015 SMR 34

Me and JB this morning.

Diablo Challenge is tomorrow so maybe there won't be as many riders as usual? Maybe a few.

Army Al made the newspaper yesterday - there was an article about how they ought to listen to him about safety measures; and about how the right folks were starting to pay attention... this new CalTrans sign also showed up.



This guy did a cool single-speed conversion to his Cannondale - but he left the double chainring and front derailleur on to make it a two-speed, and left the rear derailleur on for a chain tensioner... so I guess he was afraid to commit.  Anyway, he was fast.



Always fun to see tandems on The Mountain.


Sweeping the rocks for tomorrow's big ride.


OK here's something I have NEVER seen before - water bottles mounted to the fork.  Looks like he has a nice gravel-grinder kind of bike and filled up the main triangle with some kind of gear bag - and I guess he just doesn't like CamelBaks


Stop.  Reduce heart rate.  Ingest HammerGel.  GO


Lots of very safe and polite and patient drivers on The Mountain today.
